The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.15.1-rc1.gz or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.15.y and the diffstat can be found below.
Results from Linaro’s test farm.
No regressions since 4.15 release, but you'll notice high failure counts in kselftest. These are because it was the first RC and I ran the tests multiple times - first without a skipfile, and then again with a partial skipfile. All of the failures look like known issues that we also saw on 4.15 release.
Why does kselftest need a "skip list"? Shouldn't all of the tests that ship in the kernel tree, pass on that release? Is anyone looking into the failures? That seems like a pretty obvious thing :(
And was anyone testing the -rc releases to catch this before 4.15 came out? If not, why not? I thought you all were testing rc releases now...
Anyway, thanks for the reports.
thanks,
