You may want to contact the guys that package your custom distro. Since some of those patches are marked for stable they would be automatically backported but I don't know who provides your custom kernel. AFAIK these are likely to be backported already by Redhat so if you are using CentOS 8.2 or RHEL8.2 there is a good chance that these are already in.

We did find fixes for them in 4.20 & 5.6 but not in 4.19. Would it be able to merge these commits to 4.19 as well ? > > Here are the commits of interest. > 1. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5e19697b56a64004e2d0ff1bb952ea05493c088f - v4.19.rc1 > 2. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/61351d6d54e651ec4098445afa5ddc2092c4741a - v4.20.rc1 > 3. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/4d5bdf28690a304e089ce750efc8b7dd718945c7 - v4.20.rc1 > 4. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/0f060936e490c6279dfe773d75d526d3d3d77111 - v5.6-rc1 > > Vidhesh Ramesh -- Thanks, Steve
