Since this tree merges (parts of) the pci and iommu trees, I am hoping that those are to remain stable - if not, then you need to stay alert if they are rebased. Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As you may know, this is not a judgment of your code. The purpose of linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.=20 You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have been: * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's Signed-off-by, * posted to the relevant mailing list, * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree), * successfully unit tested, and=20 * destined for the current or next Linux merge window. Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell=20 sfr@canb.auug.org.au Legal Stuff: By participating in linux-next, your subsystem tree contributions are public and will be included in the linux-next trees. You may be sent e-mail messages indicating errors or other issues when the patches/commits from your subsystem tree are merged and tested in linux-next. These messages may also be cross-posted to the linux-next mailing list, the linux-kernel mailing list, etc. The linux-next tree project and IBM (my employer) make no warranties regarding the linux-next project, the testing procedures, the results, the e-mails, etc. If you don't agree to these ground rules, let me know and I'll remove your tree from participation in linux-next. --Signature=_Wed__27_Jun_2012_09_50_24_+1000_Sx7/QrQtfP5RPHEQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJP6krAAAoJEECxmPOUX5FEe0oQAKlT1Bzl1IOgrG2oyn6u+Xvi vANClPIluKR6eREwqJyriVRKFXs0aOxFMVRiX4ipQR9H3CB8jcNXjCs9FZw0HLT8 Of6fsiSqmgRgccK1brqZh7ig0s6FF5ENLYOy4wCIVZEOPTTaLZL2k9Q2w+B9CSa6 1W5va/48zulQQ+v7bhMO4F0fKSr7eiFwMTGeq7biOfTPp4wRT6jmxUoJJurhS2vd KCIA8cAC1qbuEG+MPM5joI81dUT7psZKLzVfJ5xqC+1UVTvIOTk+FOeh3T/vBJnq nMBL2PVdR1YL3tOtchaQIyjHyGUBvqHGXbx9ouNDkhvTjsMQ8SXv+70s2ULw97Y1 TJOzKc6X2csmG/FMkoVXtyceJsSMRvqKeNMxsPTEe7SSnYKqIZfuv9Q1ZuE8Uj7S AHP3mqAuen2z2YD4uIQI3xr3hdrcFUB9ah8tUIjd6pFEEGZMrbMSmV2gerfrBTuK 9MMkrAp+RUlJtyBr7TokIDQ5li4l9wohZwqlDNtsrqKz7Z5bDDnOBlgKx6xzjslL jfCREhXOIf9RoPeRQN1gkNOGKfT6ybQvRt+IicRKKr9ldqtbFDk1ef+2Ri9e5LfF mAbjGf4H81JkY7n0KL8gWKkKr6mNbvEhFDQwZE/8QFkXek1jeuoOtB+JrYzUPcln W46VM0suopaofi2D+CXL =mbqL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Wed__27_Jun_2012_09_50_24_+1000_Sx7/QrQtfP5RPHEQ--
