Hi,

This commit has been processed because it contains a "Fixes:" tag, fixing commit: d3862e44daa7 dma-buf/sw-sync: Fix locking around sync_timeline lists.
The bot has tested the following trees: v5.2.8, v4.19.66, v4.14.138, v4.9.189.
v5.2.8: Build OK! v4.19.66: Build OK! v4.14.138: Build OK! v4.9.189: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies: Unable to calculate
NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream.
How should we proceed with this patch?
The backporting instruction has an explicit # v4.14+ in there, so failure to apply to older kernels is expected.
Can you perhaps teach this trick to your script perhaps? Iirc we're using the official format even.
Hey Daniel,
The script knows how to read stable tags :)
It tested out 4.9 because the commit also has a fixes tag pointing to d3862e44daa7 ("dma-buf/sw-sync: Fix locking around sync_timeline lists."), which was backported to 4.9.
Should this not be backported to 4.9, even though the commit it fixes is there?
-- Thanks, Sasha
