Message-ID: <22416.50164.521430.604730@mariner.uk.xensource.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <73189037-1a4e-915a-7120-112f2afe3342@dd-wrt.com>
I see that linux-4.1.y is still at 5880876e9469 which has the serious
bug introduced by the backport c5ad33184354 "mm/swap.c: flush lru
pvecs on compound page arrival".
The analogous problem is also still affecting at least linux-3.18.y.
Is there some problem with reverting this patch in the stable
branches ?
Thanks,
Ian.
