SubjectRe: [PATCH v7 0/5] kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory
From
Date
Hi Daniel,

Are any other patches required prior to this series ? I have tried to
apply it on later powerpc/merge branch without success:


[root@localhost linux-powerpc]# git am
/root/Downloads/kasan-support-backing-vmalloc-space-with-real-shadow-memory\(1\).patch

Applying: kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory
.git/rebase-apply/patch:389: trailing whitespace.
* (1) (2) (3)
error: patch failed: lib/Kconfig.kasan:142
error: lib/Kconfig.kasan: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real
shadow memory
The copy of the patch that failed is found in: .git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
