I think there is a follow-on patch for this one as well, that adds the proper "stream open" logic to all of the individual locations.
That bulk one hasn't been applied yet, and wouldn't be appropriate for stable anyway. It's 5.2 material.
Ah, ok.
But...
But even with that, I don't think this is stable material, it should just be for 5.1 and newer kernels.
We likely *will* have a fuse-only patch that uses stream_open() and _will_ be marked for stable, but that hasn't actually happened yet either. But if/when that happens, then this infrastructure patch will indeed be needed in stable.
Ok, I'll add this to my list of things to apply sometime in the future when it shows up.
