From Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt:
- No "theoretical race condition" issues, unless an explanation of how the race can be exploited is also provided.
Similarly, '[ 85/95] virtio_blk: Drop unused request tracking list' is a marginal perf improvement, why is it in there?
Neither of these were cc:stable; did someone request them specifically?
Confused, Rusty.
