Consider picking up "scsi: core: Fix a procfs host directory removal regression" for stable

[Linux regression tracking (Thorsten Leemhuis)]

Hi Greg. From https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217215 it
looks like you want to add be03df3d4bfe ("scsi: core: Fix a procfs host
directory removal regression") to your stable queue. It lacks a stable
tag, but fixes a bug in a commit that afaics was backported to all
stable series last week.

Side note: would you scripts have noticed this automatically and added
it to the queue today? (Just wondering if this mail actually makes any
difference.)

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

Sorry, ignore that, I noticed that fix is already in your queue (I
looked at it before writing that mail, but it seems I somehow missed it
and only noticed now; sorry for the noise).

Ciao, Thorsten

It's not noise, verifying that we actually picked up known fixes is
good, I'd much rather a few "do you really have this fix" emails get
sent than not sent at all and we miss things.

And I just checked, yes, if Sasha hadn't picked this up with his
scripts, my scripts would have caught it as well, so it was a good test
that our independant processes are working.

thanks,
