So I assumed it was a no-go.
It all depends, let's get the git commit ids for these please. And have you successfully applied and tested that those patches fix the issue? If so, great, let's apply them!
There is also another bug:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3303.
Fanotify faces a srcu dead-lock when userland stops responding to events for this other case. Fix for that bug is a 35 patches patchset (including the fix, commit 9dd813c15b2c101, for the particular issue).
Question is, should I document things of this nature on this list also ? Even if it is likely a no-go for the backports ? Just as information ? Should I just bring the attention to the backport need (all patches) and you decide ?
Same as above, if you test them and they work, and they resolve a reported and testable bug, why wouldn't we apply them?
Great to know! Will work on both then.
Tks a lot.
