Note, for this case it really doesn't apply, because one patch does not depend on the other. The real bug is that a tracepoint can be called when RCU is not watching (cpu is offline). That bug was introduced in 3.17 and is fixed by patch 2 with the conditional trace event. When that bug was fixed, it showed that another bug exists. That is that lockdep should not complain if the conditional prevents the bad RCU from happening, and this bug was introduced in 3.18. This was fixed by the first patch. They really are two entirely separate bugs, it just happens that the test case Sedat had happened to trigger both of them. This is why I really don't see why the two need to reference each other. I'm also going to modify patch 1 to not mention porting the other commit (that patch 1 fixes) to 3.17 (from 3.18), as that other commit is just a debugging tool and not something that satisfies being backported, and the patch that fixes it shouldn't be backported to 3.17 either, only to 3.18. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
