Some questions about using and debugging linux-next: - Where to report errors? to this ml? cc-ing the related subsystem maintainer(s)? - What's the normal way of finding out the source for a problem, if you know a good commit (9bead9ae16728973cd31d9fd60c496e0e2fabbd1) and a bad commit (dcb80fdb8cffd3fa06cd322b3e8227632ec23597)? - As far as I can see, you are doing rebase on linux-next. Why don't you continue to do git-merge? - And would a non-rebased tree not make life much easier for debugging purposes? My motivation is to find out the reason why xorg crashes now together with the xorg guys. But currently it seems to be impossible for me to detect which commits have been between to snapshots of the master branch of linux-next.
