I don't think gregkh does that himself? So if there was a major bug fix that ideally would go back to LTS but couldn't be simply cherry picked, one of the dm-cache devs would need to submit a separate commit for 3.10? Or perhaps I misunderstand the process. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
