Hi Dave,

I am an engineer of the postK computer from Fujitsu.

When I tried to read "max_vl" by ptrace with this patch on our local SVE 
simulator, it was read as zero.
I think the cause of this incident is that "max_vl" is set as "header->vl" 
only on warning case in sve_init_header_from_task().
"max_vl" should be set up also on normal case, like the following patch.

Hi, thanks for reporting this.

It looks like a refactoring mistake I made while removing BUG_ON()s,
which I missed in my testing.

Your fix looks correct and seems to work.  For stylistic reasons, I may
write it like this instead, but the effect should be the same:

	header->max_vl = sve_max_vl;
	if (WARN_ON(!sve_vl_valid(sve_max_vl))
		header->max_vl = header->vl;

Cheers

Best regards,
