That's the point of linux-next. I would say the standard rule is that it should sit in linux-next for a week. If I submitted a one line bugfix, normally that sits in linux-next for a week before going upstream. What frustrates me is that last merge window someone merged a driver into linux-next for one day. I submitted a memory corruption fix the very next day but the maintainer said my fix arrived too late for the 3.7 release. What's the point of sending it to linux-next if you don't have time to take feedback? So yes, this thread is mostly me still being cross about that. :P We were all expecting Linus to release the kernel last week so no one should have expected to merge new drivers this week anyway. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
