Cherry picking only one of the 50-odd patches we've committed into late 4.19 and 4.20 kernels to fix the problems we've found really seems like asking for trouble. If you're going to back port random data corruption fixes, then you need to spend a *lot* of time validating that it doesn't make things worse than they already are...
Any reason why we can't take the 50-odd patches in their entirety? It sounds like 4.19 isn't fully fixed, but 4.20-rc1 is? If so, what do you recommend we do to make 4.19 working properly?
thanks,
