This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
workqueue: Fix NULL pointer dereferenceto the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: workqueue-fix-null-pointer-dereference.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
No, this doesn't seem to work for 3.18. The patch that created in_task (7c4788950ba5922fde976d80b72baf46f14dee8d) doesn't really work for 3.18, so I'm not going to queue this up there.
If you think it should be applied, can you provide a working backport?
thanks,
