I think there is a follow-on patch for this one as well, that adds the proper "stream open" logic to all of the individual locations.
That bulk one hasn't been applied yet, and wouldn't be appropriate for stable anyway. It's 5.2 material.
Hm, I might be confusing something here but I see a bunch of patches that convert existing callers mentioned in this patch to use stream_open() which was introduced here.
Are these the same patches you're referring to? If so, why are they not appropriate for stable?
