Linux Virtualization - Nov 2014 - [3.16 stable PATCH 0/2] virtio-rng: two backports to fix stuck

I received two mails about faile to apply patches to 3.16-stable tree:

FAILED: patch "[PATCH] virtio-rng: skip reading when we start to remove the
device" failed to apply to 3.16-stable tree
FAILED: patch "[PATCH] virtio-rng: fix stuck of hot-unplugging busy
device" failed to apply to 3.16-stable tree

Amit already backported two patches for 3.16-stable, then cherry-pick
of my two patches works.

Thanks.

When we try to hot-remove a busy virtio-rng device from QEMU monitor,
the device can't be hot-removed. Because virtio-rng driver hangs at
wait_for_completion_killable().

This patch exits the waiting by completing have_data completion before
unregistering, resets data_avail to avoid the hwrng core use wrong
buffer bytes.

Before we really unregister the hwrng device, reading will get stuck if
the virtio device is reset. We should return error for reading when we
start to remove the device.

I'm now doing the extended stable maintenance of the 3.16 kernel, as
Greg has EOL'ed it.

Anyway, I will be queuing these 2 patches for the extended 3.16
kernel.  Thank you!

Cheers,

Why me?  3.16-stable is end-of-life, I'm no longer maintaining it, so
what can I do here with these patches?

confused,
