Hi Eric,
I saw that this patch didn't make it's way into the stable branches.
So I have two questions:
- Would it be safe to apply to linux-3.12.x stable?
- If yes, would there be any [noticeable] efects on a [pretty
complex] HTB setup? (I know, test and I'll see,
but if theory sais I won't, then there would be no point to
the test, would there?)
Thank you!
