Well, they are in mainline now ;-) But I just want to point out that our "upstream" is the next RT kernel that we have. That is, you should wait till 6.1-rt has a commit before you take it. 6.1 should wait till Sebastian's 6.3-rt has it. That is, if a commit goes into Sebastion's tree, it's OK to backport. But those backports are always added separately from merging a mainline stable branch. We merge stable branches by themselves and increment the -rt number (and we do not need to post a shortlog for that, even though srt does). Then we add backports as a separate release (and increment the -rt number again). -- Steve
