No changes since V2[1], resent as per discussiond on -stable[2]. I hope this is the correct way to send net fixes for older LTS releases, I'm going off of the latest netdev FAQ:
I just tried to apply this with "git am" to the current v4.19 -stable branch and it failed.
[davem@localhost linux-stable]$ git am --signoff diff Applying: net: check before dereferencing netdev_ops during busy poll error: patch failed: net/core/dev.c:5083 error: net/core/dev.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 net: check before dereferencing netdev_ops during busy poll hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch' to see the failed patch When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue". If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
