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
