We should be down to 10-liner patches at this point in the stabilization window. I have queued the whole series for 4.13. If there are smaller, trivial patches without dependencies you would like to see in 4.12 I can shuffle them over. 10, 11, and 12 appear to fix panics and are thus candidates for rc6. Whereas "Add nvme initiator devloss support", while obviously a deficiency, falls pretty clearly in the new feature bucket. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
