Sorry for the colloquialism, it's not actually the same as a ping. A ping is for something that had no response. This is more about the patch was acknowledged but did not go further. "Falling through the cracks" is like picking a bunch of things up with a bucket that has a crack in it. 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
