This changelog is pretty screwed up :( It tells us what the patch does but not why it does it. > Signed-off-by: Cody P Schafer <cody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > > Unless memory hotplug is being triggered on boot, this should *not* be cause of Valdis > Kletnieks' reported bug in -next: > "next-20130607 BUG: Bad page state in process systemd pfn:127643" And this addendum appears to hint at the info we need. Please, send a new changelog? That should include a description of the user-visible effects of the bug which is being fixed, a description of why it occurs and a description of how it was fixed. It would also be helpful if you can identify which kernel version(s) need the fix. Also, a Reported-by:Valdis would be appropriate.
