Hello again,


I've sent this email a few minutes ago but mixed up one of the In-Reply-To

In-Reply-To message IDs.


I've bisected this and found that the issue is caused by commit
f46262bbc05af38565c560fd960b86a0e195fd4b:

'Revert "mm/execmem: Unify early execmem_cache behaviour"'

Thank you for digging into this. Looks like I took the last patch in a
patch series and not the previous ones, which caused this problem. I've
dropped this one now and will add it back next week after I also add all
the other ones in the series.


You're welcome! :)

Btw, the same patch has turned up again in the stable queue für 6.15.4:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/log/queue-6.15/revert-mm-execmem-unify-early-execmem_cache-behaviour.patch

Is this intentional or a mistake?
