I'm lost here, why isn't this patch in Linus's tree already? You seem to be sending backports for something that isn't there to backport yet. Please resend these patches to stable@vger.kernel.org, with the upstream git commit id, when they are in Linus's tree, there's nothing I can do with them for now, sorry. greg k-h
