Hi Jian, Thanks for proactively identifying and requesting a backport of 44623b2818. We'll need it for Android as well soon.
One thing I do when requesting backports from stable is I checkout the branch of the stable tree and see if the patch cherry picks cleanly.
btw, an easy way to get an idea of possible dependencies is to look at the dependency repo :) For this commit on 5.4:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/deps.git/plain/v5.4/4...
Why you guys never tell me this before? :P Very cool, how is the dependency chain built? Is it built for every commit?
