Post #738590

While reviewing one of the patches sent to the linux-hardening list this afternoon, I spotted a bug I introduced in the same code two years ago (on March 5 2024, to be precise).
Over nearly a decade contributing to the Linux kernel, I’ve discovered and fixed many years-old bugs, and it’s always a special feeling. This time is no different. Here to fix what I break! 🙌🏼

@gustavoars Heroic! I try to remember that it's not how long it took you to get to a solution. It's that you GOT to a solution.

@gustavoars I couldn't see that patch on sashiko.dev, but a later patch has a review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/abnmUvHzhgS9xA-m%40kspp I'm curious what you think?
