Looks actually that it again had to be dropped again for 4.9.169, as per https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20190415104228.ga9...@kroah.com/ Regards, Salvatore

That looks has happened for the 4.9 stable series as in https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20190411032430.17353-1-matthew.ruff...@canonical.com/ and would be included afaics in 4.9.169.

Ben, if it's too much work, maybe just don't do it. I think the upstream maintainer wrote something in his commit message that fixing this issue in backports might be hard/impossible. When running the testsuite, the kernel additionally reported that processes may hang, and tainted itself accordingly. Sadly I don't have the exact kernel message at hand right now. Helge

This appears to depend on commit 9385a84d7e1f which looks hard to backport.

Package: linux Version: 4.9.30 The LTP testcase fanotify07 creates hanging processes with debian kernel 4.9.30 on the hppa platform. In the source code of LTP's fanotify07.c testcase one can read: * Kernel crashes should be fixed by: * 96d41019e3ac "fanotify: fix list corruption in fanotify_get_response()" * * Kernel hangs should be fixed by: * 05f0e38724e8 "fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response" It seems upstream commit 05f0e38724e8 "fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response" is missing in stable kernel 4.9.30 (and debian kernel), which explains why the testcase hangs. I didn't checked if the kernel crash fix is in 4.9.30. Can you backport at least the commit 05f0e38724e8 ? Thanks, Helge
