What does this mean?
And why are you all backporting random stable kernel patches to your tree and not just taking all of them with a simple merge?
By selectivly cherry-picking patches like this, you are guaranteed to be doing more work, and have a much more insecure and buggy kernel. The opposite of what your end goal should be, correct?
Hi Greg,
My apology for the noise. It was due to a mistake in my git config. And thanks for your suggestions. Our tree is actually a mixture of stable backports and feature backports. I guess that's why the cherry-picking method was chosen, since a simple merge creates too many conflicts and it is error prone to fix them in one shoot.
Cheers, Tao
