Not necessarily -- the patches fix two different bugs (endless loop in kernel vs crash). If you want to apply them in the opposite order, just let me know. BTW I completely forgot to add Fixes and Cc: stable tags. Both of the issues come from 1.x times. (But the crash obviously needs SMP/preemption, i.e. 2.x.*.) thanks, -- js suse labs
