Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Second set of revertion of all of the umn.edu commits
Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 15:08:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210429130811.3353369-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

Like the first set of 190 patches submitted here:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210421130105.1226686-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org

I am working through all of the patches submitted by umn.edu email
addresses.  The remaining 79 set of patches that did not automatically
revert with git were looked at, and these are the remaining ones where a
revert was actually possible.  The other 72 commits did not need to be
listed at the moment as they fell into other categories (were already
fixed, applied to files not in the tree anymore, modified such that they
were no longer relevant, etc.)

The full report of all of this audit is currently being worked on by me
and other members of the LF Technical Advisarory Board, and will be
published when completed.

This remaining set of patches is to provide a public review of them, and
to determine if they are valid or not.  If the commit was valid, I'll
drop it from my list of reverts, if the commit was not correct, I'll
keep the revert and provide a "correct" fix for the issue as well.

The final set of "reverts of bad + correct patches" will be posted to
lkml and maintainers when all of this is completed.  Hopefully sometime
next week, but I'm not promising anything :)

Maintainers, if you could take a look at these and see if the original
was a valid commit or not, that would be most appreciated.  I'll be also
doing a review of them as well.

Thanks all for your help with this unexpected extra work...
