Message-ID: <2082b1e11fdbf3b64f0da022fb15a8b615c3678c.camel@codethink.co.uk> (raw)

This commit (included in 5.6-rc5) seems to be needed for 5.4 and 5.5
branches:

commit 6d390e4b5d48ec03bb87e63cf0a2bff5f4e116da

    locks: fix a potential use-after-free problem when wakeup a waiter

I'm a bit surprised that it hasn't yet been applied, while some fixes
from 5.6-rc6 have.

Ben.
