Hi,
While reading the kernel logs for arm64 (as one does) I noticed a few patches that seemed like candidates for either LTS or LTSI. I've also had a couple of others mentioned via other routes. What do you think of these?
4ecf7ccb1973 arm64: spinlock: retry trylock operation if strex fails on free lock
This seems like a correctness fix for spinlocks, though since the callers should cope with failure it's arguably just an optimisation.
I've applied this one to 3.10-stable and will look over the others when I catch up on my larger patch queue, thanks.
All of the other ones looked good to me and I've queued them up now, thanks.
