Happy new 2024 Masahiro,
some small nits.
What about adding links to the commits...
linux/export: Fix alignment for 64-bit ksymtab entries [ Upstream commit f6847807c22f6944c71c981b630b9fff30801e73 ]
linux/export: Ensure natural alignment of kcrctab array [ Upstream commit 753547de0daecbdbd1af3618987ddade325d9aaa ]
^^ AFAICS in linux-stable - v6.6.10-rc1 includes both ^^ Is yours a follow-up and makes sense for linux-stable releases?
...and CC Helge Deller?
Best regards, -Sedat-
