Really? This is a mess. I see the following commits in the stable 4.4 tree: In the 4.4.9 release the following upstream commit was backported: 2c1f6951a8a8 ("[media] videobuf2-v4l2: Verify planes array in buffer dequeueing") then in 4.4.11 it was reverted by backporting: 93f0750dcdae ("Revert "[media] videobuf2-v4l2: Verify planes array in buffer dequeueing"") Then finally, in 4.4.19 this commit gets added: 83934b75c368 ("[media] videobuf2-v4l2: Verify planes array in buffer dequeueing") So, is 83934b75c368 ok to backport, but 2c1f6951a8a8 was not? Because they look identical to me... So, what am I missing here? thanks, greg k-h
