Hi Xiaolong, no worries...

That must have been it! Looking back in my mail archives, I don't see
any complaints against v4. The bot must have sent me v3 mail just after I
fired off v4.

My patchset v4 (this subject/thread):

[PATCH v4 0/1] Add livepatch kselftests
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/25/1139

based on Petr's patchsets:

[PATCH 0/8] livepatch: Atomic replace feature
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/23/665

[PATCH v3 0/2] livepatch: Allocate and free shadow variables more safely
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/16/326

All of which should have been posted to linux-kernel as well as
linux-livepatching. I can dig up Message-Ids or other headers if that
helps any.
