This patch should to be applied to the stable branches to fix the issue in older branches.
Do stable folks pick up stable fixes which are not upstream?
AFAIK, a patch needs to be upstream to be backported to stable first.
Although I knew the To: had to be to stable@vger.kernel.org, I wasn't sure how that worked with the EDAC reviewers. This was a weird situation where I couldn't fix the upstream because it had already been fixed a different way.
Yah.
Meng sent me the notification and the patch with a SOB so I put Meng first in the order.
If he sent you the patch, then he's the author and you need to keep his
From: Meng Li Meng.Li@windriver.com
at the beginning of the file so that git preserves his authorship.
Thx.
