The patches all look ok, as far as I can tell, but please rebase the series to make it easier to see what is going on: * At least one of the sub-branches is based on a random commit on Linus' tree. Please always base patches on an -rc for consistency! * Out of the 20 patches, not one is marked for 'stable' backports. I really want to make sure this time that all long-standing bugs get fixed in stable releases, so please go through the list and add 'Cc: stable@kernel.org' to the ones you want to have backported. If all patches are actually addressing regressions, just tell me in the introductory mail next time. * Since a lot of patches address the dss, it would be nice to have a separate pull request for those. It's not really important, but I feel that it's easier to review stuff that is less mixed and splitting them out should be easy if you rebase the series anyway. Thanks for your patience, Arnd

Please always base patches on an -rc for consistency! Yes sorry I made the same comment earlier to Benoit. That one patch is certainly based on a random commit.. Will cherry pick that one. The earlier patches are based on the earlier fixes (while waiting for them to get merged). So that's certainly not a random commit. Or at least was not at that time :) I can rebase those too anyways now that the earlier fixes are merged. > * Out of the 20 patches, not one is marked for 'stable' backports. > I really want to make sure this time that all long-standing bugs > get fixed in stable releases, so please go through the list and > add 'Cc: stable@kernel.org' to the ones you want to have backported. > If all patches are actually addressing regressions, just tell me > in the introductory mail next time. It's mostly regressions and fixes on new features merged during the merge window. But looks like there's at least one patch that might make sense for stable too, will check them all. > * Since a lot of patches address the dss, it would be nice to have > a separate pull request for those.

OK will place those into fixes-dss branch. Cheers, Tony

No need to do that unless you are rebasing them anyway. IMHO it's fine if you have all your bug fixes in one branch based on the previous bug fixes you sent, but it's of course also fine to start a fresh branch for each pull request. In general, I would recommend not rebasing when you have the choice, because that means your patches are not as well tested. Arnd

Well I can keep only four of them because of the pull on a random commit. Looks like four of them apply to v3.1, will send them off to stable@vger.kernel.org and send you two new pull requests. Tony

FYI, forgot to mention that I verified that merging in the two pull requests produces the same end result as the original pull request. Tony
