Relax Greg :-) The submissions all had the commit ID of the original patch upsteam: b3084f4db3aeb991c507ca774337c7e7893ed04f The only *thing* here is due to churn upstream in 3.13, the backport is a bit different for 3.13 vs. earlier versions. The earlier ones are perfectly kosher and you should have no reason not to take them. The 3.13, well, Mahesh was a bit quick here, he sent you the actual patch that went upstream ... and a second patch to fix a problem with older gcc's that it introduces. Because it's a simple build fix of the previous patch, I suggested folding it in instead. That build fix is what is not yet upstream, it's in my -next branch which Linus hasn't pulled just yet. If that's an issue for you, just drop the 3.13 variant of the patch and we'll send it again with the build fix as soon as Linus has pulled the latter. > > It is the build failure for older gcc compiler version that is not in > > linus tree. > > That is what I can not take. > > > We missed that in the first pull request.

In this specific case it may be difficult. 3.13 have other changes around the code path. It has split pmd locks etc which result in us doing a withdraw and deposit even on x86. For 3.11 and 3.12, we need to do that extra withdraw and deposit only for ppc64.

It is the build failure for older gcc compiler version that is not in linus tree. We missed that in the first pull request. Do we really need to drop the patch from 3.11 and 3.12 trees ?
