Hi Greg,

Can you please add these two pstore fixes to 4.14 please? They are prerequisites for another fix I'll be sending to Linus soon that'll be needed in 4.14 (to fix the bug Yaro ran into).

How about I wait until your fix is in Linus's tree before backporting these? They will also be needed in 4.19, right?

thanks,

These also were needed in 4.19, so queued up to both trees now, thanks.

Okay, sounds good. Thanks!
