Hi Sasha, On Sun, Dec 25, 2022 at 08:13:58AM -0500, Sasha Levin wrote:This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Input: iqs7222 - protect against undefined slider size to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: input-iqs7222-protect-against-undefined-slider-size.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.I am replying to clarify what is undoubtedly my own misunderstanding about the workflow for stable. This patch was accompanied by several others with the same fixes tag in 6.2-rc1, but some that appeared before it (e.g. [1]) do not seem to appear in the queue-6.1 subdirectory despite appearing in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. May I ask for your help in understanding why only this patch is queued for 6.1, while it and its predecessors were queued for 6.0? Similarly, patch [2] from 6.1-rc1 already appears in 6.1.y, and has been queued for 6.0.y. However, its parent [3] from the same lot and with the same fixes tag is not queued for 6.0.y, yet already appears in 6.1.y. Why does the queue for 6.0 seem to skip some patches that were queued for 6.1? [1] 404f3b48e65f ("Input: iqs7222 - report malformed properties") [2] d56111ed5848 ("Input: iqs7222 - set all ULP entry masks by default") [3] 514c13b1faed ("Input: iqs7222 - avoid sending empty SYN_REPORT events") In case I have misunderstood or am simply jumping ahead, please let me know. Thank you for your patience.
It was mostly a timing thing: the commits you've pointed out on 6.0 came is as dependencies. I've made sure that 6.1 has [1] and [2], while 6.0 has all 3 of the patches. If you'd like to give me a list of patches and which tree they should go in, I could queue them up. -- Thanks, Sasha
