I'd prefer to only get what's missing.
Ulrich, I imagine that you would normally receive fixes via the
corresponding -stable trees. If Michael's series went into
stable/linux-4.19.y you could cherry-pick from there for your v4.4.y tree
and maybe avoid some merge conflicts that way. So perhaps we should ask
the -stable maintainers to backport first (?)
Al, I see that the following commits are missing from stable/linux-v6.1
and older trees, despite the word "fix" in the subject. Reading the merge
commit 1a8d05a726dc "Merge tag 'pull-fixes' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs" suggests to me
that these are old bugs...
Only
bd75497a77cc m68k: fix livelock in uaccess, and
0d20abde987b m68k: Leave stack mangling to asm wrapper of sigreturn()
need changes to apply to v4.19. Only compile tested so far.
Happy to submit the adjusted patches to stable, and ask the stable
maintainers to pick up the missing bits from Linus' or Geert's tree.
Would that be good enough?
Cheers,
Michael
