In fact the sentence "The existing caller of pmdp_invalidate should handle it but it's an inconsistent state for a PMD." makes me suspect there are no end-user visible effects. I don't know why we chose to backport that one into -stable and I don't know why we should backport this one either. Greg (and others) will look at this changelog and wonder "why". It should tell them. -- 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
