The quilt patch titled Subject: kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-kexec-fix-ima-when-allocation-happens-in-cma-area.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

------------------------------------------------------ From: Pingfan Liu piliu@redhat.com Subject: kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 21:09:22 +0800

When I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following warning:

[ 40.712410] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 40.712576] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1562 at kernel/kexec_core.c:1001 kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198 [...] [ 40.816047] Call trace: [ 40.818498] kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198 (P) [ 40.823221] ima_kexec_post_load+0x58/0xc0 [ 40.827246] __do_sys_kexec_file_load+0x29c/0x368 [...] [ 40.855423] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

This is caused by the fact that kexec allocates the destination directly in the CMA area. In that case, the CMA kernel address should be exported directly to the IMA component, instead of using the vmalloc'd address.
