Hmm? Patches are not accepted into the stable tree until the patch goes upstream, IIUC. And to make a patch automatically go to -stable once it hits mainline, you need to add Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org among the Signed-off-by sequence in the patch. Otherwise, we can explicitly mail the patch to stable, -after- the corresponding patch hits mainline.. In fact, we will also have to quote the mainline commit id in that. See Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for details. Regards, Srivatsa S. Bhat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
