Hence: Depends: 50e638beb67e0 ("ovl: Use str_on_off() helper in ovl_show_options()= ") I added it for bots and humans that do backporting to 6.12. It is not a "real" dependency. It is a weak dependency for clean apply which works well for 6.12.y. > > Since we are actively tracking this for a Google COS customer > escalation, do you have a rough timeline for when you expect this to > be merged into mainline and subsequently picked up by the 6.12 stable > queue? > It's queued on the ovl-fixes branch to be merged into linux-next tonight. If there are no rejects from bots or humans, I plan to send it to Linus before the weekend. > We will officially pull it into the COS tree as soon as it lands in > linux-stable. > > Thanks again for the excellent support, Your report was very informative and well prepared. This helps :) Thanks, Amir.
