Say, commit 109febfe58f9 ("net/igb: move > PCI device IDs from EAL") will not be applied (as there is no fixline), 109febfe58f9 & 221fba3b987c are in fixes line of this patch. > but it is required by commit 5544a453b4ac ("kni: fix crash when removing > interface"), if I'm not mistaken. I am not clear with question but, the issue is: 109febfe58f9 & 221fba3b987c creates a defect and this patch fixes it. If both 109febfe58f9 or 221fba3b987c get into stable tree, this patch needs to get in to fix crash. If you prefer to get one of them (although that doesn't make much sense), a backported version of this patch needs to be applied. > > Or, I'm wrong? > > --yliu >
