The patch mlock-only-hold-mmap_sem-in-shared-mode-when-faulting-in-pages.patch causes this chunk of code from cryptsetup-luks to fail during the initramfs:
if (mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE)) { log_err(ctx, _("WARNING!!! Possibly insecure memory. Are you root?\n")); _memlock_count--; return 0; }
Bisection fingered this patch, which was added after -rc4-mmotm1202, which boots without tripping this log_err() call. I haven't tried building a -rc6-mmotm1216 with this patch reverted, because reverting it causes apply errors for subsequent patches.
Ideas?
