4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
Consider this an objection:
I'm currently arguing that this is unnecessarily regressing power consumption here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10149195/
I'll leave it up to you what to do with this, but if this ends up in Chromium OS kernels, I'm likely to revert it there...
Is that patch in Linus's tree yet? If so, I'll be glad to also apply it here.
The link is the original patch, where I'm (too late?) complaining about its side effects. Hans and Marcel are discussing potential alternatives. This stuff happens in -rc kernels. But you're already ready to push it out to -stable users? I can try to push another few reverts into Linus's tree if that really helps, or else you can wait on pushing these to -stable until 4.16 settles down.
I can drop this for now, but I really like to be "bug compatible" with Linus's tree if at all possible. That keeps the pressure on people to get Linus's tree fixed :)
I'll drop this if the maintainer tells me to do so...
thanks,
