Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic

Browse source 
- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
  them directly [email protected]. If the tag (Cc: [email protected]) is
  available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
  the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
- Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.
  This was discussued in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/9/474

@ -26,13 +26,33 @@ Procedure for submitting patches to the -stable tree:
- Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to
[email protected].
- To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the
the tag
Cc: [email protected]
in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
or subsystem maintainer.
- If the patch requires other patches as prerequisites which can be
cherry-picked than this can be specified in the following format in
the sign-off area:
Cc: <[email protected]> # .32.x: a1f84a3: sched: Check for idle
Cc: <[email protected]> # .32.x: 1b9508f: sched: Rate-limit newidle
Cc: <[email protected]> # .32.x: fd21073: sched: Fix affinity logic
Cc: <[email protected]> # .32.x
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
The tag sequence has the meaning of:
git cherry-pick a1f84a3
git cherry-pick 1b9508f
git cherry-pick fd21073
git cherry-pick <this commit>
- The sender will receive an ACK when the patch has been accepted into the
queue, or a NAK if the patch is rejected. This response might take a few
days, according to the developer's schedules.
- If accepted, the patch will be added to the -stable queue, for review by
other developers and by the relevant subsystem maintainer.
- If the [email protected] address is added to a patch, when it goes into
Linus's tree it will automatically be emailed to the stable team.
- Security patches should not be sent to this alias, but instead to the
documented [email protected] address.
