Re: Question: consult patch

[zhangwensheng (E)]

Hi Lee

I'm sorry I didn't fully understand you. did you mean the CVE
was caused by a commit which was applied to an internal kernel
version?  What commitment can be displayed? and I know that
mainline do not have the problem because of some code refactoring,
But are there any problems with some other stable branches?

thank you very much!
