Hi Greg,
This feels like it's missing a From: line.

drm/nouveau: Don't WARN_ON VCPI allocation failures
Is this an artifact of your notification-of-patches process and I never noticed before, or was the patch ingested incorrectly?
It was always like this for patches that came through me. Greg's script generates an explicit "From:" line in the patch, but I never saw the value in that since git does the right thing by looking at the "From:" line in the mail header.
The right thing is being done in stable-rc and for the releases. For your example here, this is how it looks like in the stable-rc tree:

Yeah, we should fix your scripts to put the explicit From: line in here as we are dealing with patches in this format and it causes confusion at times (like now.) It's not the first time and that's why I added those lines to the patches.
thanks,
