Maybe I misunderstood your problem description, but my impression from it was that 4/6 is a fix to a latent bug in 15da108 that later affected what was done by new code that appeard somewhere between 15da108 and 'master', and the test 5/6 was about that breakage. IOW, root cause was older than the symptom. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
