Sasha, Was this automated or did you do this manually?
This is mostly automated.
I'm asking because I was walking through my INBOX to see what FAILED backports I could clean up, and I started on this one: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2023120938-unclamped-fleshy-688e@gregkh/ I did the cherry pick, fixed up the conflict, but when I tried to commit it, it failed because there was nothing to commit. This confused me for a bit, and then when I did a git blame, I saw that you had done the fix already. When you fix a FAILED patch, can you do a reply to the FAILED message that Greg sends out, so that I don't waste my time on trying to fix something that was already fixed?
The process I have is that I go over the stable tagged commits with a week or two delay, and attempt to apply the commits that aren't in the tree yet using the dependency bot. I can look into how to tie this into Greg's FAILED emails; I used to do the above manually and reply to those mails, but now the process is slightly different and there's no direct connection between the two. -- Thanks, Sasha
