This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

kprobes: Use synchronize_rcu_tasks() for optprobe with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

to the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: kprobes-use-synchronize_rcu_tasks-for-optprobe-with-config_preempt-y.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

This is not for bugfix, but improvement. And also, it depends on TASKS_RCU & commit 7e42776d5ed1fe9a941ed8876c5d15cd7cf5d89f.

So, please don't pull it on stable tree.

Ok, now dropped from the 3.18 stable tree, thanks.
