Hi Ian, please don't send me email privately, instead always send the questions to the list. You get better answers faster and I get less email :) Ian W MORRISON <ianwmorrison@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > With the below patch how can I track when it has been merged into 4.13 > so I can check and start using it?

So if Greg applies a patch to one of stable his stable releases who usually sends a private email to the patch author and anyone who has signed off the patch. So you should get an email about that. You can also follow the stable trees mentioned here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html But good that you brought up this as I almost missed your patch from this week's pull request for 4.14. I'll apply it shortly. -- Kalle Valo
