Hi Greg,
I noticed that 3.18.125 added commit bc07ee33284a ('Revert "drm/i915:
Fix mutex->owner inspection race under DEBUG_MUTEXES"'), which states
that the reason it can be applied is:
The core fix was applied in
commit a63b03e2d2477586440741677ecac45bcf28d7b1
Author: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Jan 6 10:29:35 2015 +0000
mutex: Always clear owner field upon mutex_unlock()
(note the absence of stable@ tag)
so we can now revert our band-aid commit 226e5ae9e5f910 for -next.
but that the commit referenced wasn't also pulled in.
Please consider pulling that one too if you're going to do another 3.18
stable release.
Unless someone can ack that commit for stable (since it specifically
states it shouldn't be included), I'd rather revert bc07ee33284a - it
shouldn't have been merged in to begin with.
