as there was nothing that critical that I had for 5.0.
However, I say that,and then a number of critical fixes come in:
ipmi: fix use-after-free of user->release_barrier.rda
ipmi: Prevent use-after-free in deliver_response
ipmi: msghandler: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities
which are obvious candidates for 5.0. Then there is:
ipmi:ssif: Fix handling of multi-part return messages
which is less critical, but it still has some off-by-one things that
are not great, so it seemed appropriate. Some machines are broken
without it. Then:
ipmi: Don't initialize anything in the core until something uses it
It turns out that using SRCU causes large chunks of memory to be used
on big iron machines, even if IPMI is never used. This was causing
some issues for people on those machines.
Everything here is destined for stable.
