Comment 6 for bug 1802021

Hi Joshua,

I will touched base with Gavin to compare our trees. My test kernel is the current Azure kernel with two commits applied: d633198088bd9 and eb4c2382272ae7. Commit eb4c2382272ae7 being the patch from
Dennis Krein in linux-next:

eb4c2382272a ("srcu: Lock srcu_data structure in srcu_gp_start()")

Gavin and I both had the same set of commits. I can submit and SRU request for this if you don't want to wait for the testing, since it could take a long time. If I submit it this week, it won't land in the Azure kernel until the next SRU cycle in the new year. Just let us know what you think.

Here are the dates for the next cycle:

cycle: 14-Jan through 03-Feb
====================================================================
         11-Jan Last day for kernel commits for this cycle.
14-Jan - 18-Jan Kernel prep week.
21-Jan - 01-Feb Bug verification & Regression testing.
         31-Jan Release 18.04.2 kernels to -updates
         04-Feb Release remaining kernels to -updates.

Looking at these dates, we may want to SRU it this week, due to a Company shutdown between 24-Dec and 06-Jan.
