Hi Greg / Thomas and all involved here. First, apologies for necro-bumping this thread, but I'm working a backport of this patch to kernel 4.15 (Ubuntu) and then I noticed we have it on stable, but only in 4.19+.
Since the fixes tag presents an old commit (since ~3.19), I'm curious if we have a special reason to not have it on long-term stables, like 4.9 or 4.14. It's a subtle portion of arch code, so I'm afraid I didn't see something that prevents its backport for previous versions.
What is the git commit id of this patch you are referring to, you didn't provide any context here :(
thanks,
greg k-h
I'm sorry, I hoped the subject + thread would suffice heh
So, the mainline commit is: f8a8fe61fec8 ("x86/irq: Seperate unused system vectors from spurious entry again") [0]. The backport to 4.19 stable tree has the following id: fc6975ee932b .
Thanks,
Guilherme
