Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2018 18:49:55 +0200 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@....com>, Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>, "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@...cle.com> Subject: [PATCH 4.4 77/80] scsi: sysfs: Introduce sysfs_{un,}break_active_protection() 4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@....com> commit 2afc9166f79b8f6da5f347f48515215ceee4ae37 upstream. Introduce these two functions and export them such that the next patch can add calls to these functions from the SCSI core.
