Hi,

[This is an automated email]

This commit has been processed because it contains a "Fixes:" tag, fixing commit: .

The bot has tested the following trees: v5.2.16, v4.19.74, v4.14.145, v4.9.193, v4.4.193.

The fixes tag is 7e8b88a30b085 which was added to mainline in 4.17. According to this email, it applies fine to 5.2 and 4.19, but fails on 4.14 and earlier. As the commit was added in 4.17 that makes perfect sense. Can you update your scripts to test when the fixes commit was added, and not send spam about it not applying to stable trees where it's not applicable.

On a git repo containing only Linus's tree, I have:

$ git describe --contains 7e8b88a30b085 v4.17-rc1~28^2~43

Which shows me when it was applied.

Thanks!

NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream.

How should we proceed with this patch?
