As I'm going through adding commits from Thomas's latest -rt patch set into the stable-rt tree, some of the patches conflicted. Looking at the conflicts, it seems that mainline has patches that should probably be added to the stable tree. Here's what I found so far:
commit 1b71fe2efa31cd18c865db474a4cd473b6ab5281 Author: Al Viro <[email protected]> Date: Sat Jul 16 23:43:58 2011 -0400 ceph analog of cifs build_path_from_dentry() race fix ... unfortunately, cifs bug got copied. Fix is essentially the same. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <[email protected]> commit dc137bf553dbb6855bd7efc34fedcd03102455f7 Author: Al Viro <[email protected]> Date: Sat Jul 16 23:37:20 2011 -0400 cifs: build_path_from_dentry() race fix deal with d_move() races properly; rename_lock read-retry loop, rcu_read_lock() held while walking to root, d_lock held over subtraction from namelen and copying the component to stabilize ->d_name. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <[email protected]> These seem appropriate for stable, don't they? -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
