Hi Vlad,

When do changes need to be provided as a patch in linux-next-cherry-pick and when can they be made a fix

directly on the driver files in linux-4.8 or in compat-rdma?

Thanks,

Michal


Hi Michal,
Patches that were accepted upstream after kernel 4.8 release should go to the linux-next-cherry-pick directory. Patches that were submitted upstream but not yet accepted should go to the linux-next-pending directory. Code under linux-4.8 includes the sub-trees for the relevant components taken as is from linux-4.8 sources tree. Some components were added there later on. But no other patches should be applied to this git tree directly.

Regards,
Vladimir
