Hi stable maintainers,
It seems that Linux kernel 4.19 and below miss the patch - "fbmem: add
margin check to fb_check_caps()" [1]. Linux kernel 5.4 and up is
already merged this patch[2].
Are there any special issues about this patch? Why do maintainers miss
such a patch?
If I have any misunderstanding, please let me know.

If you feel it should be included there, can you please provide a working backport of the patch so that we can apply it? thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
