btw, an easy way to get an idea of possible dependencies is to look at
the dependency repo :) For this commit on 5.4:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/deps.git/plain/v5.4/44623b2818f4a442726639572f44fd9b6d0ef68c
Why you guys never tell me this before? :P Very cool, how is the
dependency chain built? Is it built for every commit?
git bisect run for each commit on each branch we have. I have a little
stable-deps tool that looks something like this to make it easy:
ver=$(make SUBLEVEL= kernelversion)
cmt=$(git rev-parse $1)
for i in $(curl -s https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/deps.git/plain/v$ver/$cmt | awk {'print $1'}); do
stable commit-in-tree $i
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
continue
fi
git ol $i
done

Thanks,
Sasha
