I already explained last time that this shouldn't be backported: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20190905161642.GA5659@google.com/ The commit message explains it too. Is there something I could have done last time around to properly prevent this from being backported, or do I have to continue to be ready to respond to these emails which can come at arbitrary times forever? > > If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, > please let know about it. Hard for "anyone else" to object to it when you didn't Cc any real mailing lists (stable-commits doesn't count) and just sent this to me. Lucky I saw this. - Eric
