Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the next 5.2.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, as the 10th v5.2.x post-EOL release.
This release is "normal" -- where it consists of an audit of what went into 5.3.1[78] releases, resulting in about 175 commits for v5.2.31. But two notes of interest I want to mention. 1) This completes the audit of v5.3-stable, as v5.3.18 was the last release in that version. I'll detail more on how backports were chosen in the eventual v5.2.32 release notes, but v5.4.x will most likely play a prominent role in determining what commits I look at. 2) There were 28 commits - or about 15% of the whole 5.3.17 release against the one driver: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx -- that may not mean much to others, but as someone who has tracked stable content for many years, it is unprecedented, in my opinion. Backports from mainline or from the v5.3-stable were not "hands free" onto the v5.2 baseline. Given that, and that stable isn't IMHO the place for a wholesale driver uprev, I removed the series. People with the hardware can investigate and adapt. I've put this 5.2.31 queue through the usual testing; build testing on x86-64/32, ARM-64/32, PPC and MIPS, plus some static analysis and finally some sanity runtime tests on x86-64. I did the signed tag just as per the previously released versions. Please find a signed v5.2.31 tag using this key: http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xEBCE84042C07D1D6 in the repo in the kernel.org directory here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-5.2.y.git/?h=linux-5.2.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-5.2.y.git for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-5.2 and then out from there into the other base and BSP branches. For those who are interested, the evolution of the commits is here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-5.2.git/ This repo isn't needed for anything; it just exists for transparency and so people can see the evolution of the raw commits that were originally selected to create this 5.2.x release. Paul.
