It applies cleanly to 3.12.22 tree (I didn't > check 3.14 tree). I agree that it should eventually hit -stable, but it is not an urgent issue and should not be applied prematurely. Please wait for this patch to have at least a few weeks of exposure in Linus' tree. Also note that it is not userspace memory corruption so much as an application not waiting for I/O to complete as they're supposed to (the app is doing something really stupid). -ben > Honza > > -- > Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> > SUSE Labs, CR -- "Thought is the essence of where you are now." -- 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
