Greg,
The only thing required for 4.19 for this patch is that:
829ca44ecf60 ("IB/qib: Use struct_size() helper")
Is there first as a prereq.
How do you want to see that in the signature block meta language?
The documentation in: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html describes how to do this properly.
I've queued both of these up now for 4.19.y.
thanks,
greg k-h
