The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.14-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to stable@vger.kernel.org and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

thanks,

Commit ba26621e63ce got rid of ktime_get_raw_and_real_ts64(), but left its declaration behind.

Remove it.
