Hi Greg / Thomas and all involved here. First, apologies for necro-bumping this thread, but I'm working a backport of this patch to kernel 4.15 (Ubuntu) and then I noticed we have it on stable, but only in 4.19+.
Since the fixes tag presents an old commit (since ~3.19), I'm curious if we have a special reason to not have it on long-term stables, like 4.9 or 4.14. It's a subtle portion of arch code, so I'm afraid I didn't see something that prevents its backport for previous versions.
What is the git commit id of this patch you are referring to, you didn't provide any context here :(
thanks,

I'm sorry, I hoped the subject + thread would suffice heh
There is no thread here :(
So, the mainline commit is: f8a8fe61fec8 ("x86/irq: Seperate unused system vectors from spurious entry again") [0]. The backport to 4.19 stable tree has the following id: fc6975ee932b .
Wow, over 1 1/2 years old, can you remember individual patches that long ago?
Anyway, did you try to backport the patch to older kernels to see if it was possible and could work?
If so, great, please feel free to submit it to the stable@vger.kernel.org list and I will be glad to pick it up.
thanks,
