[PATCH 1/3] proc/vmcore: Do not map unaccepted memory

Adrian Hunter adrian.hunter at intel.com
Wed Sep 6 00:39:00 PDT 2023


Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby
a virtual machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not map unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to fail.

For /proc/vmcore, which is read-only, this means a read or mmap of
unaccepted memory will return zeros.

Fixes: dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory")
