• Request to Backport SEV Live Migration Bug-Fix

    From Ben Hillier@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 4 01:10:01 2023
    Hi folks,

    A bugfix for SEV Live Migration was recently merged into the x86/sev
    feature tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=ac3f9c9f1b37edaa7d1a9b908bc79d843955a1a2

    Would we be able to get this bug fix backported into the Debian 12
    kernel? The bug causes memory corruption on migration, and we are
    unable to support SEV Live Migration on Debian without it.

    Kind regards,
    Ben Hillier

    AFAICS this was back then marked for inclusion in stable and did land
    in 6.1.53 upstream. So in the next weekends point release for bookworm
    it will be included as we do rebase to 6.1.55.

    Salvatore

    Hi folks,

    I wanted to inquire again about getting this bug fix merged into the
    Debian stable kernel. I understand you're usually open to getting bug
    fixes added to the stable kernel. Please let me know if you'll be able
    to get this bug fix added to the Debian kernel. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=ac3f9c9f1b37edaa7d1a9b908bc79d843955a1a2

    Thank you,
    Ben Hillier

    See https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2023/10/msg00038.html

    And I have verified again, this is already included in upstream 6.1.53
    upstream and so in Debian bookworm's kernel since 6.1.55-1.
