This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
net: refactor bind_bucket fastreuse into helper
to the 4.14-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:
net-refactor-bind_bucket-fastreuse-into-helper.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.
(...)
Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from tim.froidcoeur@xxxxxxxxxxxx are
queue-4.14/net-refactor-bind_bucket-fastreuse-into-helper.patch
Thank you for backporting this patch!
It seems the backport of the companion patch -- d76f3351cea2 ("net:
initialize fastreuse on inet_inherit_port") -- was lost somewhere for
4.14 version. It was backported in all other newer stable versions: 5.8,
5.7, 5.4, 4.19 but not in 4.14.
The patch backported here is a preparation for the real fix which is the
missing patch.
I guess the intention is to backport d76f3351cea2 to v4.14 as well. If
not, this refactoring is maybe not needed :)
Cheers,
Matt
