(This also ensures linear history, although I don't think > that's too much of a problem.) Yeah, I think the requirement is just "it has to be against some commit that is on the mainline of the upstream kernel", it doesn't inherently have to be an rc or a full point release. The assumption we're making here is that ABI is stable once a change hits Linus' git tree, and not stable before that. The other requirement is "don't go backwards", ie don't sync to a commit that pre-dates whatever the last commit we synced to is. The last sync we did was to ceaa837f96ad ("Linux 6.2-rc8"). thanks -- PMM
