This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests: cgroup: Add 'malloc' failures checks in test_memcontrol to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: selftests-cgroup-add-malloc-failures-checks-in-test_.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a8e69c29d1e0bb430dc6e85658adeea8b7d4a526 Author: Ivan Orlov <ivan.orlov0322@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Feb 26 16:16:33 2023 +0300 selftests: cgroup: Add 'malloc' failures checks in test_memcontrol [ Upstream commit c83f320e55a49abd90629f42a72897afd579e0de ] There are several 'malloc' calls in test_memcontrol, which can be unsuccessful. This patch will add 'malloc' failures checking to give more details about test's fail reasons and avoid possible undefined behavior during the future null dereference (like the one in alloc_anon_50M_check_swap function).
