This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

posix-timers: Fix nanosleep_copyout() for CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME

Fixes: Commit b5793b0d92c9 ("posix-timers: Make compat syscalls depend on CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME")

I don't think we want this: b5793b0d92c9 isn't in linux-4.17.y and probably won't ever be, so the fix doesn't apply but instead causes compat mode to break.

That patch is also part of this series, so yes, we do need this one as well.

thanks,
