So, for future reference:
Stable patches for the networking tree, I should:
1) check http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/davem/stable/?state=*
to see if my patch is already on your stable queue
2) if not, ask you and cc netdev@vger.kernel.org
3) you will handle the interaction with Greg and stable@vger.kernel.org
Correct?
Yes, and that's how it's been with the networking for years.
Yes, and in the future, documentation of this will be available here:
Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
Right now is only available via net-next:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/tree/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
or
https://lwn.net/Articles/559211/
Guess, we should add a pointer to this new doc from
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt once it hits Linus'es tree.
Now I cannot find any more ways to spell-it-out, for people searching google ;-)
