Hi Paul,

Given that the following patch in this patchset (2/2)
"Fix: membarrier: Handle CLONE_VM + !CLONE_THREAD correctly on powerpc"
is based on this patch, and that the fix needs to go into 4.14,
I would recommend queuing both patches for 4.14 is possible.

Otherwise I could try swapping the order of the two patches if
needed, but since both are touching nearby code areas, rebasing
is not straightforward.

Thanks,

Mathieu
