But the mail suggested to add the >unfinished patch into stable branch directly (even before >upstreaming?). I obviously didn't suggest that this patch will go in -stable before it's upstream. I've started doing those because some folks can't be arsed to reply to a review request for a patch that is months old. I found that if I send these mails while the discussion is still going on I'd get a much better response rate from people. If you think any of these patches should go in stable there were two ways about it: - You end up adding the -stable tag yourself, and it would follow the usual route where Greg picks it up. - You reply to that mail, and the patch would wait in a list until my script notices it made it upstream, at which point it would get queued for stable. >Now, there are only hand full of printk patches in each >release, so it is still doable.

This might mean to nominate >only important and rather trivial fixes. I also have an effort to help review the patches. See what I'm working on for the xfs folks: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/29/1113 Where in addition to build tests I'd also run each commit, for each stable kernel through a set of xfstests and provide them along with the mail. So yes, I'm aware that the volume of patches is huge, but there's not much I can do about it because it's just a subset of the kernel's patch volume and since the kernel gets more and more patches each release, the volume of stable commits is bound to grow as well.=
