Hi, Stable! As you might be aware of, some companies that maintain linux kernel drivers have the habit of assigning each driver change a new version number. Typically a new subpatch number. This is in the interest of their Quality Assurance department knowing exactly what they test. "Is the bugfix for problem X part of the kernel I'm testing". Now this doesn't play well with subdrivers. And it doesn't play well with stable kernels and other distro-maintained kernels. The argument "look at the source" doesn't always work. Particularly not for some distro-maintained kernels where the Quality Assurance department may not have access to the source or the skill to obtain it. So basically I was wondering whether there might be a reasonable way that this problem could be resolved. I was thinking along the lines of a tool where the mainline git commit-id of a patch applied to stable and touching a module would be added to a table of patch-ids for the modules that so requested. Any comments or ideas greatly appreciated.
