I've now added Steven Rostedt and Willy Tarreau as well on the off-chance that they have something to say about it (Steven presented his conflict resolution method at Kernel Recipes and I think Willy is experienced with backporting), but this is in no way meant as pressure to review this patch.

I previously wrote some text for CIP about reviewing stable backports. The "Read the code" section should be applicable to writing them as well: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/cipkernelmaintenance#read_the_code.

Ben.
