Patch series "Do not try to access unaccepted memory", v2. Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commitdcdfdd40fa("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual machine may need to accept memory before it can be used. Plug a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is unaccepted memory. This patch (of 2): Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commitdcdfdd40fa("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual machine may need to accept memory before it can be used. Do not let /proc/vmcore try to access unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to fail. For /proc/vmcore, which is read-only, this means a read or mmap of unaccepted memory will return zeros.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
