Hi!
You have forgotten the upstream commit ID. And there is a message of cherry-pick -x. This is not necessary. Could you please add commit ID and remove cherry-pick message?
commit 24e0e61db3cb86a66824531989f1df80e0939f26 upstream.
Best regards, Nobuhiro
Hello Nobuhiro,
The Linux 4.14 stable kernel maintainers are: Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin
See: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
I followed the instructions provided by Greg Kroah-Hartman in email: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/2023092002-mobster-onset-2af9@gregkh/
""" To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands:
git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-4.14.y git checkout FETCH_HEAD git cherry-pick -x 24e0e61db3cb86a66824531989f1df80e0939f26 # <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.> git commit -s git send-email --to 'stable@vger.kernel.org' --in-reply-to '2023092002-mobster-onset-2af9@gregkh' --subject-prefix 'PATCH 4.14.y' HEAD^.. """
I do find it slightly amusing that the instructions, provided by none other than the stable maintainer himself, which mentions linux-4.14.y, should not be good enough :)
I think you should bring up your concerns with the stable maintainers. If this is really an issue, perhaps you can convince them to update their instructions.
Until then, I will assume that the provided instructions are satisfactory.
Kind regards, Niklas
