[PATCH 4.4 0/2] 4.4.30-stable review

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

Based on the discussion at the kernel summit a few hours ago, here's a
quick bug-fix release for 4.4-stable to resolve an issue with 4.4.29 and
older kernels.  I'll probably release it once the testing systems run on
it to verify nothing is broken.

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.4.30 release.
There are 2 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one.  If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Responses should be made as soon as possible!

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.4.30-rc1.gz
or in the git tree and branch at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.4.y
and the diffstat can be found below.

thanks,

greg k-h
