Hi

I forgot that 4.1 has ended a while ago. Greg also sometimes still takes patches
for 3.18, so that might be a candidate aside from 3.18

Gregkh, David, does it make sense to you to merge commit 0fb44559ffd6 ("af_unix:
move unix_mknod() out of bindlock") to 3.18? If yes, please do so.

I guess we need to adjust LTP test to accept either return code as EOL longterm
branches probably will not take this patch.

I'd argue that if we decide that EADDRINUSE is the intended return value,
it would be appropriate for LTP to warn about kernels that never got the
backport.

The alternative would be to not backport the patch further, and then change LTP
to no longer warn. Note that the bug that got fixed by the 0fb44559ffd6 patch
is probably more important than the return code, so I would say
we want the patch backported to anything that people still run anyway,
especially if they are running LTP to make sure it works correctly.

Kind regards,
Petr
