Hi Greg-KH,

Apologies for the delayed follow-up.  Still digging out of emails after
the LSF festivities last week.

Apologies for the confusion.

So the request was to take the following four commits already merged in
v3.19, and include them for <= v3.18.y stable:

target: Fix R_HOLDER bit usage for AllRegistrants
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/target?id=d16ca7c5198fd668db10d2c7b048ed3359c12c54

target: Avoid dropping AllRegistrants reservation during unregister
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/target?id=6c3c9baa0debeb4bcc52a78c4463a0a97518de10

target: Allow AllRegistrants to re-RESERVE existing reservation
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/target?id=ae450e246e8540300699480a3780a420a028b73f

target: Allow Write Exclusive non-reservation holders to READ
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/target?id=1ecc7586922662e3ca2f3f0c3f17fec8749fc621

and take the following single commit already merged in v4.0, and include
it into <= v3.19.y stable:

vhost/scsi: potential memory corruption
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/vhost?id=59c816c1f24df0204e01851431d3bab3eb76719c

Thank you,
