[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A memory corruption was reported in [1] with bisection pointing to the
patch [2] enabling per-VMA locks for x86.
Disable per-VMA locks config to prevent this issue while the problem is
being investigated. This is expected to be a temporary measure.
