Dear all, I tried to submit a patch for 4.14 that was already accepted upstream and is in linux-next and the 4.15-rcs.
To understand how this should be done, I looked at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/process/stable-kernel-rules.html and tried to follow Option 2. It looks like I didn't get it right. I started with a tree that contains the patch and ran git format-patch -1 <commit id> and then git send-email --to [email protected] \ --cc <the original maintainer and reviewers> \ --annotate <patch file> I added the upstream commit id above the original commit message and a tag line Cc: <[email protected]> # 4.14.x to the patch and sent it out. Is there anything that's wrong or missing? Is there a mailing list archive for [email protected] where I can have a look at correct submissions and check that my submission made it to the list? Thanks for your help, Martin _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
