Hi Greg,
I will post a rebased patch for the 5.2-stable tree.
Is it really needed?
I ask because in the patch it says:
This bug was introduced in Linux v5.2, so this fix only applies to Linux v5.2 is enough for stable tree maintainer.
Fixes: 89e0341af082 ("bcache: use sysfs_match_string() instead of __sysfs_match_string()")
Hi Greg,
But commit 89e0341af082 showed up in 5.3-rc1, not 5.2.
So why is this needed in 5.2.y?
Indeed I was not sure which version this patch was merged, so I ran,
git describe 89e0341af082
v5.2-rc4-245-g89e0341af082
It seems I use git in an incorrect way. After check man git-describe I see '--contains' should be added (to find a tag which after/contains the commit),
git describe --contains 89e0341af082
v5.3-rc1~164^2~57
Yes, the fixing bug is from v5.3-rc1. Please ignore the noise....
Thanks.
