[PATCH 0/9] mm, page_alloc: several stable fixes
From: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)
Date: Tue Oct 27 2026 - 12:20:47 EST
A bunch of fixes from Josef, filtered for page allocator by David.
They seem worthy of Cc: stable to me, but IMHO don't need to be sent
urgently as the issues mostly need root actions (memory offline) to
trigger and/or CONFIG_DEBUG_VM to result in a denial of service.
I have tweaked some commit logs and a comment in one case.
Based on mm/mm-unstable.
