Subject: [stable 4.4, 4.9, 4.14, 4.19 LTS] Missing fix "memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears"
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2021 11:04:19 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <537870616.15400.1612973059419.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com> (raw)

Hi,

While reconciling the lttng-modules writeback instrumentation with its counterpart
within the upstream Linux kernel, I notice that the following commit introduced in
5.6 is present in stable branches 5.4 and 5.5, but is missing from LTS stable branches
for 4.4, 4.9, 4.14, 4.19:

commit 68f23b89067fdf187763e75a56087550624fdbee
("memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears")

Considering that this fix was CC'd to the stable mailing list, is there any
reason why it has not been integrated into those LTS branches ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
