Ok, but why? It seems that you are fixing a real issue here, right? If
not, the changelog is not clear with that at all...
I'll go drop it now, thanks.
Because backporting it would require other backports that depend on
the rounding behaviour.
Can I somehow fully opt out of these automagic backports?
If I want my stuff backported I'll ask for it.
You can, just let me know what exact files should be ignored, or you can
send a patch against this file:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/ignore_list
I think we should add at least i915 and xe there. cc: maintainers
It does feel a little wild to decide a patch needs to be backported
based on the commit title starting with "Fix", or whatever way was used
here. We always relied on patches being backported based on a) having a
Fixes: trailer and b) the commit pointed out in that trailer
being present in that stable version. Or the others options shown
in Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst
Looking at the commit in question, c6fbb6bca10838485b820e8a26c23996f77ce580
there's no such a trailer. Did I miss something from
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst?
Where did you see anything about the Fixes: trailer in the document
you've pointed to?
End of "Option 1":
Note, such tagging is unnecessary if the stable team can derive the
appropriate versions from Fixes: tags.
