Re: [PATCH 4.9 000/107] 4.9.120-stable review

From: Sebastian Gottschall
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 20:55:08 EST


if SWAP is disabled in kernel config, the following compile error will raise up with this release

arch/x86/built-in.o: in function `max_swapfile_size': (.text+0x3bba1): undefined reference to `generic_max_swapfile_size'

of course this is simple to fix. the function max_swapfile_size must be excluded if CONFIG_SWAP is disabled

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.9.120 release.
There are 107 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 by Thu Aug 16 17:14:53 UTC 2018.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
