I'm missing something. The first change from Filipe's series linked above has a fixes tag, but no stable tag afaics: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux.git/commit/?h=for-6.9&id=978b63f7464abcfd364a6c95f734282c50f3decf So there is no guarantee that Greg will pick it up; and I assume if he does he only will do so after -rc1 (or later, if the CVE stuff continues to keep him busy). As Filipe wrote "can actually have serious consequences" this got me slightly worried. That's why I'm a PITA here, sorry -- but as I said, maybe I'm missing something. The second of the patches has none of those tags, but well, from the patch descriptions it seems that is just a optimization, so that is likely not something to worry about: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux.git/commit/?h=for-6.9&id=1cab1375ba6d5337a25acb346996106c12bb2dd0 Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) -- Everything you wanna know about Linux kernel regression tracking: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/about/#tldr If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.
