The patch titled Subject: mm: check __highest_present_section_nr directly in memory_dev_init() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-check-__highest_present_sectioin_nr-directly-in-memory_dev_init.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-check-__highest_present_sectioin_nr-directly-in-memory_dev_init.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-check-__highest_present_sectioin_nr-directly-in-memory_dev_init.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: check __highest_present_section_nr directly in memory_dev_init() __highest_present_section_nr is a more strict boundary than NR_MEM_SECTIONS. So checking __highest_present_section_nr directly is enough.
