[PATCH 6.4 1/8] mm: disable CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK until its fixed

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

 



From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f96c48670319d685d18d50819ed0c1ef751ed2ac upstream.

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 until the fix is confirmed.  This is expected to be a
temporary measure.
