=======================================
|
|
|
|
Often right before the merge window we get a block on non
|
|
oops/regression fixes for stable fixes. Some stable fixes
|
|
often get propagated afterwards during the extraversion
|
|
maintenance of the kernels. Right before the merge window
|
|
circa rc4 and rc5 subsystem maintainers get pegged if they
|
|
throw in non oops/regression fixes for Linus or their
|
|
respective upstream maintainer. While this makes sense
|
|
for tree management and stable release considerations we
|
|
still need to get users some stable patches propagated.
|
|
|
|
This directory is there to help with that. Only patches
|
|
which have been merged into linux-next.git will be included
|
|
in this directory which means you must post it and the maintainer
|
|
should have merged it and Stephen would have picked it up.
|
|
|
|
This directory will always be empty for bleeding edge
|
|
releases as bleeding edge releases are always based on
|
|
linux-next already. This directory only makes sense for
|
|
stable release of the kernel, and it we will always try
|
|
to use it, in case there are stable fixes not yet propagated.
