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).

If you’ve contributed a few patches to the kernel but haven’t submitted in a while, give it another go. You never know what opportunities the future might bring.🐧🙌🏼
