This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
x86/intel_rdt: Fix potential deadlock during resctrl mountto the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.kernel.org_git_-3Fp-...
The filename of the patch is: x86-intel_rdt-fix-potential-deadlock-during-resctrl-mount.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
I do not have an objection to this patch but I am wondering if, since this patch is considered for stable, then perhaps its complement should be considered also?
Upstream commit: 36b6f9fcb8928c06b6638a4cf91bc9d69bb49aa2 x86/intel_rdt: Fix potential deadlock during resctrl unmount
Indeed, it's queued up and I'll send it to Greg in the next pull request.
Thanks!
