OTOH, the upstream commit 40af35fdf79c won't break kABI and yet it helps development, so there is no strong reason not to include it. So I backported the patch and pushed to my SLE15-SP3/for-next branch. If everything goes OK, it'll be included in the next update kernel (in June). Thanks for reporting! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
