The quilt patch titled Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-proc-task_mmu-move-mmu-notification-mechanism-inside-mm-lock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Muhammad Usama Anjum <usama.anjum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2024 16:24:42 +0500 Move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock to prevent race condition in other components which depend on it. The notifier will invalidate memory range. Depending upon the number of iterations, different memory ranges would be invalidated. The following warning would be removed by this patch: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5067 at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte+0x860/0x960 arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 There is no behavioural and performance change with this patch when there is no component registered with the mmu notifier.
