Hi Greg
This series contains backports for a couple of fixes to sch_cake that was just merged for 5.1. This series backports an earlier refactoring commit, which makes the fixes themselves apply cleanly from upstream.
You have read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to submit networking patches to the stable trees, right?
I suggest trying it that way first...
Yeah, Dave already queued the original fixes up for stable, but they are not going to apply cleanly on 4.19; hence the first patch in this series.
I thought it was better to just include the full series with that, for context, but maybe that was wrong? Should I just have sent the first one? If so, feel free to just take the first patch in this series and let the others go through the usual stable submission process...
Dave queues up and sends me the stable backports for networking code, as the document states. If there is a special series needed for 4.19, I'm sure he would be glad to take them. Or, I can take them directly, after I have the 5.0 series queued up, if I get an ack from him.
But to seemingly circumvent the normal process, isn't ok, I need to know that at least you tried :)
thanks,
