The patch has to be in Linus's tree, if it's there, just send the git commit id and what tree(s) you want it applied to, no need to send the patch at all, right? Unless it needs to be backported, you provided no information here at all for us to know what is going on with this patch, hence my formletter response. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
