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.
Best Regards,

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,

Ah ok, thank you for the advice!
At this point we have 3 patches more that we sent to the wrong address after the two that I already mentioned. The patches are:
- [PATCH 1/3] batman-adv: remove references for global tt entries commit id in Dadiv's tree: 531027fcddbcf81c9937dd04f08a7e8f11fd47d2
- [PATCH 2/3] batman-adv: add sanity check when removing global tts commit id in Dadiv's tree: 6e8014947d6469df1566e9e253805557c5c0e4e0
- [PATCH 3/3] batman-adv: unify hash_entry field position in tt_local/global_entry commit id in Dadiv's tree: 93840ac40bb0d0f177ef8af74e64671be67e8c37
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?
Exactly: the 5 patches are for 3.1-stable only.

This is what we usually do, but this time we decided to send these patches *after* they got merged into David's tree. :)
Thank you very much!

The 2/3 patch above did apply to the 3.0-stable tree, but I didn't include it there, let me know if you want me to.
I've queued all of these up now, thanks,

Oh nevermind, it didn't apply properly, I should have looked more carefully.
