--- Comment #4 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) ---
Thanks for pointing out that bug.   I'll note that the poster who
authoritatively claimed that 4.19 is safe, and the bug obviously was introduced
in 4.19.1 didn't bother to do a "git log --stat v4.19 v4.19.1".   This would
show that the changes were all in the Sparc architecture support, networking
drivers, the networking stack, and a one-line change in the crypto
subsystem....

This is why I always tell users to report symptoms, not diagnosis.   And for
sure, not to bias their observations by their their certainty that they have
diagnosed the problem.    (If they think they have diagnosed the problem, send
me a patch, preferably with a reliable repro so we can add a regression test. 
:-)
