Based on some recent private email threads I had about this series, here is what I would like to see for the next time this is posted: - Patch series such that someone moving from one tree to a newer one does not experience regressions (i.e. a 4.19 version of this series, and 4.20 where needed.) - a statement saying how this was tested. As part of that statement, there better be something like "we tested using our reproducer and it shows that there is no longer an issue." Yes, I know Spectre reproducers are hard to come by, but they are out there and I do not want to take a patch series that is not at least tested for the thing that it is supposed to be solving. thanks, greg k-h
