Edit to add: no need to read the LWN comments, the article is crystal clear and to the point - no technical reading skills necessary (unlike some very involved Project Zero posts).

Make sure you get down to the comment by ardbiesheuvel, “linear map randomization was already broken”, past all the hot air about the lack of QA. This comment explains why hot pluggable memory causes issues with randomization.

Now off to read the article.

I’m a bit confused by your edit and I’m glad I ignored it to read the comment you initially highlighted because it does offer a strong counter to the Project Zero article.
