The quilt patch titled Subject: taskstats: fix struct taskstats breaks backward compatibility since version 15 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was taskstats-fix-struct-taskstats-breaks-backward-compatibility-since-version-15.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Wang Yaxin wang.yaxin@zte.com.cn Subject: taskstats: fix struct taskstats breaks backward compatibility since version 15 Date: Sat, 10 May 2025 15:54:13 +0800 (CST)
Problem ======== commit 658eb5ab916d ("delayacct: add delay max to record delay peak") - adding more fields commit f65c64f311ee ("delayacct: add delay min to record delay peak") - adding more fields commit b016d0873777 ("taskstats: modify taskstats version") - version bump to 15
Since version 15 (TASKSTATS_VERSION=15) the new layout of the structure adds fields in the middle of the structure, rendering all old software incompatible with newer kernels and software compiled against the new kernel headers incompatible with older kernels.
Solution ========= move delay max and delay min to the end of taskstat, and bump the version to 16 after the change
