Yes. The problem was introduced by that patch. It was pure luck paravirt.h

So there's no configuration right now which triggers this problem?

I don't know any. This doesn't mean there is none.


Yes, this would be a possibility. I still can do that, but I saw no real reason
to resend the other 5 patches without any change.

You mean, you expect me to read minds? :)

Oh, you can't? ;-)


TBH I'm quite puzzled that this build failure hasn't been seen before. As I said
above: pure luck.

Sorry, we don't do "pure luck."

This either fixes something in the *current* kernel or if not, it should be
applied as an urgent fix when it does after "pure luck" has been debugged
properly and explained.

Well, your call in this case.

So do you want me to resend the series triggering the issue with this patch
prepended, or are you fine with applying this patch to the tip branch for
the next merge window, and wait for the other series to get the needed Acks?
