Hello Greg,
I'm Antonio Quartulli, a net/batman-adv kernel module contributor, and I'm contacting you as you are the stable tree maintainer.
On Oct 25, 2011 I sent the following two patches to stable@kernel.org:
[PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: fix tt_local_reset_flags() function which is 31901264511cf20c5ed33b8649a3ca9ce28df60b in David's net-next branch
[PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: correctly set the data field in the TT_REPONSE packet which is 9d8523931f7f5eb8900077f0da0fbe6b8ad0010b in David's net-next branch
Up to now we didn't received any reply, either ACK or NACK, but I saw that linux-3.1.1 has been released in the meanwhile. As I guessed, this release doesn't contain our patches.
Did I miss something in the stable-submit procedure? I'm sorry for any inconvenient but this is the first time that I send patches to stable.
Ugh, no, you did everything right, it's just that at that point in time, stable@kernel.org was down, as it still is, the new address is stable@vger.kernel.org.
I'll queue these two patches up for the next release. Just to verify, these should only go to 3.1-stable, and not 3.0-stable as well?
Also, in the future, you can just add a simple: Cc: stable stable@vger.kernel.org to the patch in the signed-off-by: area, and when it hits Linus's tree, I'll automatically pick it up for the next stable release, you don't have to do anything extra.
thanks,
