Sasha has mentioned he queued up the follow up fix. I am not sure who is the 3.18 maintainer but he should do the same. I am slightly worried that Sasha's email is bouncing for several days and I am not sure who is his backup. For the time being I would just suggest doing a local revert or apply Steven's patch from http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg138760.html -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
