That problem must be lkml.kernel.org/g/[email protected] . Ie, the fact that CONFIG_DEVPORT "cannot really be used and it allows us to crash a kernel from user space" on arm64. > Tested-by: Al Stone <[email protected]> I fail to see how this patch helps your problem. And if one applies this patch on top of v4.6-rc4 and does make ARCH=arm64 defconfig one gets a .config that still has CONFIG_DEVPORT=y So my guess is that it wasn't this patch that solved that arm64 problem. Thanks, Paul Bolle
