This is quite a lot on the day that I prepare pull requests for the merge window... I've said this many times before, but just to state this in completeness, maybe it'll benefit others too: 1) Major changes for the next release should be sent to me _at least_ 1 week prior to the merge window opening. That way it gets some decent soak time in linux-next before heading upstream. 2) Minor fixes, either for major pulls that already went into my next branch or just fixes in general, can be sent anytime and I'll shove them into the appropriate branch. When bigger stuff gets sent this late, then I have two choices: reject them and tell you to send it in for the next version, or setup a new branch just for this so I can send it to Linus in a later pull in the merge window. Neither of those two options are great - the first one delays you by a release, the second one creates more churn and hassle for me. -- Jens Axboe
