Hi peter:
Do you have any plans to backport this patch[1] to the stable branch of the lower version, such as 4.19.y ?
Why? That is a new feature for 6.2 why would it be needed to fix anything in really old kernels?
Hi Greg:
This patch fix CVE-2023-0597[1], this CVE report a flaw possibility of memory leak. And this is important for some products using this stable version.

When I try to backport this patch to 5.10.y, I met some KASAN[2] and KASLR[3] related issues. Although they were finally solved, there were still some detours in the process.
Send your series of backports to the list for review please if they match the stable kernel rules.
OK.
But why can't you just use the 6.2 kernel instead of something obsolete like 4.19?
thanks,
greg k-h .
Thanks. Tong .
