I completely forgot that this exists; I hacked up something (still untested), and it seems to be able to do what I want. I'll post it after I've verified that it actually works :) >> The big elefant in the room is how migration will end up >> working... after reading the disscussions in >> https://lore.kernel.org/all/cajc+z1fzxsyb_zjit4+0utr-88vqql+-01xnmsefua-dxdy...@mail.gmail.com/ >> I don't think it will be as "easy" as I thought, and we probably require >> some further fiddling on the kernel side. > Yes maybe the MTE migration process shall be documented and discussed > separately on the ML?
