  • 5de61e7aa   stable_kernel_rules: reorganize and update submission options ... Browse Code »

    The current organization of Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
    doesn't clearly differentiate the mutually exclusive options for
    submission to the -stable review process. As I understand it, patches
    are not actually required to be mailed directly to
    stable@vger.kernel.org, but the instructions do not make this clear.

    Also, there are some established processes that are not listed --
    specifically, what I call Option 2 below.

    This patch updates and reorganizes a bit, to make things clearer.

  • 8191e0d90   stable: Allow merging of backports for serious user-visible performance issues ... Browse Code »

    Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that
    were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the
    rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix
    them reduces the value of -stable.

    The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and
    prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention.
    To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier
    to entry.

    This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge
    to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious"
    user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on
    the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available.
    The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

    The stable@kernel.org email address has been replaced with the
    stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list. Change the stable kernel rules to
    reference the new list instead of the semi-defunct email alias.

  • 8e9b93622   Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic ... Browse Code »

    - it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
    them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is
    available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
    the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
    - Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.
    This was discussued in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/9/474

  • 84eb8d060   Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig ... Browse Code »

    Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
    be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
    understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several
    Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.
