Okay, it seems I should have read "AUTOSEL" as "Hey, GregKH here, these all look like they should go to stable trees, why not?", which would have drawn a friendlier response. The answer is that I considered stable at the time, and akpm did too, and none of my three (I've not looked through the other 11) are serious enough to be needed in stable; and I'm cautious about backports, because I know that the tree they went on top of differs thereabouts from 5.17. Of course I think the patches in 5.18-rc are good, and yes, they're things I've thought worthwhile enough for me personally to port forward over several releases until I had time to send in. But that doesn't make them safe stable candidates, without someone to verify and vouch for the results in this or that tree - I run on a much slower clock than you and most around here, I do not have time for that at present (and would prefer not even to be having this conversation). But I'm happily overruled if any mm guys think they are worth that extra effort, and will verify and vouch for them. > > > I've chosen to answer to this patch of my 3 in your 14 AUTOSELs, > > because this one is just an improvement, not at all a bugfix needed > > for stable (maybe AUTOSEL noticed "racy" or "safely" in the comments, > > and misunderstood).

I'm a human asking to backport > these into the stable trees based on that :) Your humanity is not in doubt :) But I think we've gone over this too many times - each year? There's a "Fixes:" tag and "Cc: stable" tag, and in akpm's tree we prefer to be able to specify "Fixes:" to help each other, without that automatically implying "Cc: stable". Andrew goes to considerable trouble to determine when "Cc: stable" is appropriate. > > > I do recall that this 13/14, and 14/14, are mods to mm/rmap.c > > which followed other (mm/munlock) mods to mm/rmap.c in 5.18-rc1, > > which affected the out path of the function involved, and somehow > > made 14/14 a little cleaner.

As to the other 11: I hope authors will speak up one way or the other, but I'll drop out now. Hugh
