Greg,
Is the fix for a memory leak in the wext compat layer queued for stable? It is
in kernel:HEAD as commit 848e616e66d4592fe9afc40743d3504deb7632b4 ("cfg80211:
fix wext-compat memory leak")
I just receiv3ed a complaint about a leak for a system that is running Ubuntu's
kernel 4.19.
Unfortunately, this commit has a "fixes" line, but not a Cc for Stable.
Larry

That would be very odd as commit
848e616e66d4592fe9afc40743d3504deb7632b4 is in 4.19, it was in 4.19-rc7.

It could have gone into the 4.18-stable tree, but that is now
end-of-life, sorry.
