Greg,

Is the fix for a memory leak in the wext compat layer queued for stable? It
is in kernel:HEAD as commit 848e616e66d4592fe9afc40743d3504deb7632b4
("cfg80211: fix wext-compat memory leak")

I just receiv3ed a complaint about a leak for a system that is running
Ubuntu's kernel 4.19.

That would be very odd as commit
848e616e66d4592fe9afc40743d3504deb7632b4 is in 4.19, it was in 4.19-rc7.

Unfortunately, this commit has a "fixes" line, but not a Cc for Stable.

It could have gone into the 4.18-stable tree, but that is now
end-of-life, sorry.

Too bad, but thanks for the reply.

Larry
