Make sure that also for this scenario a request queue is dissociated =
from the
cgroup controller. This patch avoids that loading the parport_pc,=
paride and
pf drivers trigger a kernel crash. Since this patch series fixes a re=
gression,
please consider these patches for kernel v4.19.
[ ... ] Can anyone help with reviewing this patch series? This patch series is seve= ral months old and fixes a regression that was reported by a Linux user. Thanks, Bart.
