Subject: Backport d4ae9916ea29 ("mm: soft-offline: close the race against page allocation") to 4.14 and 4.9
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2022 13:10:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Yvopj0gK5Dg95u+b@pevik> (raw)

Hi all,

I wonder if there was an attempt to backport d4ae9916ea29 ("mm: soft-offline:
close the race against page allocation") from 4.19 to 4.14 and 4.9 (patch does
not apply, haven't found anything on stable ML, nor in stable tree git,
therefore I assume it was left as not easily fixable).

I'm asking because William is writing a LTP test madvise11 [1] which shows it's
failing on 4.14.290 (the latest 4.14). I know that 4.9 EOL in 4 months, but 4.14
in Jan 2024, it might be worth to fix it at least for 4.14.

Kind regards,
Petr
