Is this about Liao's siglock patch set? We are at v4 (!) already (see
[0]) with Oleg's Acked-by added.

This one is about this patch set (speculative uprobe lookup), right?
It is already at v4 ([1]), while you are mentioning v2 as the reason
for this to not yet be applied. Those build failures were fixed *a
long time ago*, v4 itself has been sitting idle for almost a month
(since Oct 27). If there are any other problems, do bring them up,
don't wait for weeks.

Yes, and as I mentioned, this one is a) ready, reviewed, tested and b)
complements the other work you mention. It removes mmap_lock which
limits scalability of the rest of the work. Is there some rule that I
get to land only two patch sets in a single release?
