Agreed. I guess I was a little confused as to what you wanted here. When I originally sent a backported patch that would have caused no bisect problems, you said: "Why not just tell me the 2 patches in upstream that need to be backported as Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt say to do instead?" I took that to mean that you wanted a patch that listed the upstream patches as prerequisites. > So I fixed the previous patch by hand, then applied this one (without > the duplicate chunk), so all should be good. But please verify that I > got it all merged properly. Looks good. Note that YMMV with cifs if you end up bisecting and end up at patch 67 though.
