Hello,
I run across a problem with an application using wine on OpenSUSE 42.1. After some search, I found out that it is a known bug and that there is an fix available:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41637
Basically the (backported) Dirty COW fix misses some adaptions in a second file and that leads to problems in some very special cases. For details please see the LKML thread with the fix:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/5/13
Is there any chance that this patch will be backported to the OpenSUSE 42.1 Kernel too? If I have seen it right, the OpenSUSE 42.2 Kernel is also affected.
Hm, it's tagged for stable, but doesn't seem to be taking wing.
When this situation happens, a ping to GregKH usually solves the problem.
Sure, for kernels he maintains, and where backporting isn't required. An mm expert would know exactly where all the fix needs to go, and whether any of those spots require more than simple reject fixup. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
