@Nicolas, I think I'm getting it now. The patchsets are cumulative and I just need the base patchset - right? I'm still a little unclear as to what kernel source I should apply the base patchset to. I want to rebuild the 3.18.8 kernel to double check it's free of the bug...
I can see some nfs suspend patches here... So that could be culprit! http://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/trunk/3.18/1008_linux-3.18.9.patch On 31 March 2015 at 10:00, Bob Wya <bob.mt....@gmail.com> wrote: > @Nicolas > This is the first place I went to.
