FWIW, I'm preparing a few small tweaks for Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst (to be submitted after the merge window). I among others consider adding something like this that might help avoiding this situation: ``` To delay pick up of patches submitted via :ref:`option_1`, use the following format: .. code-block:: none Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # after 4 weeks in mainline For any other requests related to patches submitted via :ref:`option_1`, just add a note to the stable tag. This for example can be used to point out known problems: .. code-block:: none Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # see patch description, needs adjustments for 6.3 and earlier ``` Greg, if this is stupid or in case you want it to say something else, just say so. Ciao, Thorsten
