If one patch is wanting to be merged now, for 5.11-final, great, don't send it in a middle of series of other patches that are not, how am I supposed to know any of this? Please send them in the proper order, and as individual series for different releases, if relevant, again, otherwise how am I supposed to know what to do with them? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
