???

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.
