I think it would be highly beneficial to enable this feature, as it has already been present in the kernel since 2013. Its use is still optional, so everyone can decide for themselves whether and how to use it or not. The question of data security simply has to be answered by each user. Writing kernel pages to a block device can certainly expose sensitive data. Thank you for taking this into consideration and for your efforts in relation to this feature. FEDORA-2024-b8b5224019 (kernel-6.11.3-300.fc41 and kernel-headers-6.11.3-300.fc41) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 41. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-b8b5224019 FEDORA-2024-b8b5224019 has been pushed to the Fedora 41 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2024-b8b5224019` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-b8b5224019 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2024-b8b5224019 (kernel-6.11.3-300.fc41 and kernel-headers-6.11.3-300.fc41) has been pushed to the Fedora 41 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report. |
