Some of those things may "fall through the crack" and not be processed. > > This patch appears after I sent the KVM PR for 6.17, and it isn't a > bugfix, so it will go to 6.18. Well, it will start causing warnings soon because it wastes memory. But that will likely begin in 6.18 so we are OK, as long as it gets into linux-next before the warning trigger does. -- Steve
