Hi, Greg: Can you hold on the 3.18-stable branch, it seems there are some issue, please see the comments from Paul:
Comments from Paul: I subjected all of the others to light rcutorture testing, which they passed. This v3.18 patch hung, however. Trying it again with stock v3.18 got the same hang, so I believe we can exonerate the patch and give it a good firm "maybe" on 3.18.
Worth paying special attention to further test results from 3.18.x, though!
Ok, I've dropped this from the 3.18.y queue now, thanks.
Bo, if you know of a "y" for 3.18.y that would likely pass rcutorture testing, please let me know.
Thanx, Paul
