I have a concern:

AFAICT the current stable/linux-3.18.y tree has a backport of
c29c0876ec05d51a93508a39b90b92c29ba6423d, but not of
26d4d129b6042197b4cbc8341c0618f99231af2f or
48afbd70ac7b6aa62e8d452091023941d8085f8a.

This commit (3bc980bf19bb62007e923691fa2869ba113be895) must not be
backported without those other commits.
