This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.14.172 release. There are 237 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.14.172-rc... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.14.y and the diffstat can be found below.

Pseudo-Shortlog of commits:
Given you do have a git branch containing these commits, is there any chance you can update your scripts to insert a real (sorted) shortlog here? That would make it easier for us contributors to track what has been backported.
How would a real shortlog help any better, except to have things sorted a tad easier?
One reason is that it is easier to search in a sorted list. A second reason is that contributions by the same person would be grouped together.
I can't remember why I do it this way, but for some reason, many many years ago, this was a better solution than a "traditional" shortlog.
IIRC, because you started with quilt ;-)
Here's the shortlog for this release for comparison:
Aditya Pakki (3): fore200e: Fix incorrect checks of NULL pointer dereference orinoco: avoid assertion in case of NULL pointer ecryptfs: replace BUG_ON with error handling code
See, the above are all commits by Aditya Pakki. No reason to continue looking below ;-)
Thanks!
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
