The reverted commit is not x86/apic material and was cruft left over from a merge. I believe the sequence of events went something like this: * The commit in question was added to x86/urgent * x86/urgent was merged into x86/apic to resolve a conflict * The commit was zapped from x86/urgent, but *not* from x86/apic * x86/apic got pullled (yesterday) https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240312162125.136813-1-dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ > to the 6.8-stable tree which can be found at: > http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary > > The filename of the patch is: > x86-bugs-use-fixed-addressing-for-verw-operand.patch > and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. > > If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, > please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. The commit does not create any issue, but was deemed unnecessary. I would suggest to drop it from all stable queues.
