backport commit ("739f79fc9db1 mm: memcontrol: fix NULL pointer crash in test_clear_page_writeback()") to linux-4.9-stable
Hi reviewers,
I suggest to backport commit "739f79fc9db1 mm: memcontrol: fix NULL pointer crash in test_clear_page_writeback()" to linux-4.9 stable tree.
This email reports a NULL pointer crash in test_clear_page_writeback() in android common kernel-4.9. There is a fix ("739f79fc9db1 mm: memcontrol: fix NULL pointer crash in test_clear_page_writeback()") in kernel-4.13.
commit: 739f79fc9db1b38f96b5a5109b247a650fbebf6d subject: mm: memcontrol: fix NULL pointer crash in test_clear_page_writeback() kernel version to apply to: Linux-4.9
cheers, Miles

It does not apply cleanly to the 4.9.y tree, can you provide a working backport of it that I can apply?
thanks,

Also be sure to cc: all of the people involved in that patch (the author and the cc and signed-off-by list) so they can weigh in if they do not feel that this patch should be backported to the older kernel.
thanks,

thanks for the fast reply: Sorry I do not have a working backport now. I tried to find the correct patchset but failed.
Also be sure to cc: all of the people involved in that patch (the author and the cc and signed-off-by list) so they can weigh in if they do not feel that this patch should be backported to the older kernel.
Thanks for the remainder. Add all of the people involved in the patch to the cc list.
thanks,

Ok, please send it when you have a working backport, and cc: everyone then.
