These commits are not, yet, in stable/linux-rolling-stable. Let me know if you would rather me compare to a different repo/branch. The list has been manually pruned to only contain commits that look like actual issues. If they contain a Fixes line it has been verified that at least one of the commits that the Fixes tag(s) reference is in stable/linux-rolling-stable

Fun note, there are parts of the kernel, like is touched here, where unless the commit is explicitly marked "for stable", we should not be applying them. Even if, as this changelog text says, "hey, this might fix a bad thing." We have to trust the maintainers here, sorry.

Already in the tree as something else I think.

Again, amd gpu driver hell, already in the tree as a different commit.

Another subsystem (XFS) that we are not allowed to touch. The maintainers will backport patches as needed and send them to us. We have a list of these types of files we need to ignore in the stable-queue ignore_list file if you are curious.

A real one! Now queued up, thanks!

Note, the security/* files are famously almost never tagged for stable, or have Fixes: markings on them. I guess the security code must always be secure that no fixes are ever needed... :)

Already in many releases.

thanks for the lists!
