has been added to the 4.4-stable tree
This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
RDMA/cma: Consider scope_id while binding to ipv6 ll addressto the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable- queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is: rdma-cma-consider-scope_id-while-binding-to-ipv6-ll-.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
This patch depends on another patch [1] in same series.
However, these two patches only make sense on the kernels which has
commit [2].
Patch [2] is not available in 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14 kernels.
Therefore, patch in this email should not be applied to 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14
kernel trees.
Now dropped from all of those trees, thanks.
[1] commit 823b23da71132b80d9f41ab667c68b112455f3b6 ("IB/core: Allow vlan link local address based RoCE GIDs")
Note this patch is only in 5.2-rc1, and not in any stable tree. is that ok?
This feature ('support of VLAN link local GIDs') is practically is getting added to 5.2 kernel using these two patches. So I think its ok to not include in older kernels.
thanks,
