Everything you ever wanted to know about Linux 2.6 -stable releases. | ||
|
||
Rules on what kind of patches are accepted, and what ones are not, into | ||
the "-stable" tree: | ||
|
||
- It must be obviously correct and tested. | ||
- It can not bigger than 100 lines, with context. | ||
- It must fix only one thing. | ||
- It must fix a real bug that bothers people (not a, "This could be a | ||
problem..." type thing.) | ||
- It must fix a problem that causes a build error (but not for things | ||
marked CONFIG_BROKEN), an oops, a hang, data corruption, a real | ||
security issue, or some "oh, that's not good" issue. In short, | ||
something critical. | ||
- No "theoretical race condition" issues, unless an explanation of how | ||
the race can be exploited. | ||
- It can not contain any "trivial" fixes in it (spelling changes, | ||
whitespace cleanups, etc.) | ||
- It must be accepted by the relevant subsystem maintainer. | ||
- It must follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches rules. | ||
|
||
|
||
Procedure for submitting patches to the -stable tree: | ||
|
||
- Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to | ||
stable@kernel.org. | ||
- 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. | ||
- Security patches should not be sent to this alias, but instead to the | ||
documented security@kernel.org. | ||
|
||
|
||
Review cycle: | ||
|
||
- When the -stable maintainers decide for a review cycle, the patches | ||
will be sent to the review committee, and the maintainer of the | ||
affected area of the patch (unless the submitter is the maintainer of | ||
the area) and CC: to the linux-kernel mailing list. | ||
- The review committee has 48 hours in which to ack or nak the patch. | ||
- If the patch is rejected by a member of the committee, or linux-kernel | ||
members object to the patch, bringing up issues that the maintainers | ||
and members did not realize, the patch will be dropped from the | ||
queue. | ||
- At the end of the review cycle, the acked patches will be added to | ||
the latest -stable release, and a new -stable release will happen. | ||
- Security patches will be accepted into the -stable tree directly from | ||
the security kernel team, and not go through the normal review cycle. | ||
Contact the kernel security team for more details on this procedure. | ||
|
||
|
||
Review committe: | ||
|
||
- This will be made up of a number of kernel developers who have | ||
volunteered for this task, and a few that haven't. | ||
