- Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to
stable@kernel.org.
- To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the
the tag
Cc: stable@kernel.org
in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
or subsystem maintainer.
- If the patch requires other patches as prerequisites which can be
cherry-picked than this can be specified in the following format in
the sign-off area:
Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x: a1f84a3: sched: Check for idle
Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x: 1b9508f: sched: Rate-limit newidle
Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x: fd21073: sched: Fix affinity logic
Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
The tag sequence has the meaning of:
git cherry-pick a1f84a3
git cherry-pick 1b9508f
git cherry-pick fd21073
git cherry-pick <this commit>
- The sender will receive an ACK when the patch has been accepted into the
queue, or a NAK if the patch is rejected. This response might take a few
days, according to the developer's schedules.
- If accepted, the patch will be added to the -stable queue, for review by
other developers and by the relevant subsystem maintainer.
- If the stable@kernel.org address is added to a patch, when it goes into
Linus's tree it will automatically be emailed to the stable team.
- Security patches should not be sent to this alias, but instead to the
documented security@kernel.org address.
