Hi,

Where did you get this patch from? Since stable needs patches merged
This bot grabs them from various mailing lists.
on Linus tree,
shouldn't your scripts run to try backporting only patches from there?
There's a note a few lines down that says:
"NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream."
Otherwise, no, there's no rule that says we can't look at patches before
they are upstream. We can't queue them up, but we sure can poke them.
The reasoning behind this is that it's easier to get replies (and
backports) from folks who are actively working on the patch now, rather
than a few weeks later when Greg sends his "FAILED:" mails and gets
ignored because said folks have moved on.
