Hi!
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.14.331 release. There are 53 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.
Ilpo Järvinen ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com RDMA/hfi1: Use FIELD_GET() to extract Link Width
This is a good cleanup, but not a bugfix.
Ilpo Järvinen ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com atm: iphase: Do PCI error checks on own line
Just a cleanup, not sure why it was picked for stable.
Just an additional bit of information, there have been quite many cleanups from me which have recently gotten the stable notification for some mysterious reason. When I had tens of them in my inbox and for various kernel versions, I immediately stopped caring to stop it from happening.
AFAIK, I've not marked those for stable inclusion so I've no idea what got them included.
Fixes tag can do it. Plus, "AUTOSEL" robot does it randomly, with no human oversight :-(.
I know Fixes tag will surely do it. However, the two above mentioned patches were in series that were sent without any Fixes tags nor cc stables for any of the patches within the same series.
