I see you explaining this occasionally, makes me wonder if we should add something like the following to Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst (sorry, no diff/context, but I guess you'll understand things nevertheless): """ When using option 2 or 3 you can target a specific stable series. When doing so, you have to ensure that the fix or and equivalent is present or submitted to all newer stable trees, as users updating to them otherwise might encounter regressions. Hence, if you want a patch that was merged for 5.19-rc1 included in the 5.10 stable series, you must submit it for any stable series still maintained in the v5.11..v5.18 range. """ I plan to send my second set of changes soon anyway, would be simple to include this there. Ciao, Thorsten
