The patch titled Subject: coredump: refactor page range dumping into common helper has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is coredump-refactor-page-range-dumping-into-common-helper.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/coredump-refactor-page-range-dumping-into-common-helper.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/coredump-refactor-page-range-dumping-into-common-helper.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: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: coredump: refactor page range dumping into common helper Both fs/binfmt_elf.c and fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c need to dump ranges of pages into the coredump file. Extract that logic into a common helper.
