Hi Greg, all,
Just a status: so I went through about 200+ patches since the last patch list I sent; out of which 16 have been sent out to stable just now.
8 listed below might be interesting but either don't apply easily or need more understanding - if anyone finds them worthy for more time, I can spend some, otherwise will drop them from my list
hv_netvsc: Add query for initial physical link speed hv_netvsc: Add handler for physical link speed change hv_netvsc: Implement batching of receive completions netvsc: fix checksum on UDP IPV6 netvsc: Remove mistaken udp.h inclusion. mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation kvm: x86: correctly reset dest_map->vector when restoring LAPIC state
Best, Sumit.

Are these really bugfixes?
netvsc: fix checksum on UDP IPV6
That sounds like a real bugfix, right?
netvsc: Remove mistaken udp.h inclusion.
What does this fix that anyone sees?
mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation
Those two sound interesting, can you find out more?
kvm: x86: correctly reset dest_map->vector when restoring LAPIC state
Is that a bugfix?
thanks,

No, not bugfixes, but claim to improve performance.
netvsc: fix checksum on UDP IPV6

Yes, it does, though doesn't apply cleanly on 4.4-stable; I will see if it's easily reworkeable or needs some other set of patches.
netvsc: Remove mistaken udp.h inclusion.

Fixes above.
mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation

Yes, though they also seemed little more complex than usual :) - I will dig around.
kvm: x86: correctly reset dest_map->vector when restoring LAPIC state
Is that a bugfix?
Yes, it is also cc'ed to stable, but doesn't apply cleanly. (I presume that's why it didn't get in yet.)
thanks,

best, sumit.
