Li,

it would be great if you can send me information about your -stable queue,
ie how you maintain it and where it is located. This will enable me to
continue testing the stable queue for the 3.4 kernel.

Thanks,
Guenter

Hi Guenter,

Sorry for my late reply.

Thanks for testing LTS kernels!

This is my 3.4.y git tree:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/lizf/linux-3.4.y.git/

And this is the patch queue:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/lizf/linux-3.4.y-queue.git/

I use quilt. When I've added some patches to 3.4.y, I'll update this
queue. The patches and series file are under /patches. Currently there's
already a patch in the queue.

When I release a new version, I'll clean up the queue by removing all
the files under /patches.

Hope this is all the information you need. Please tell me if you need
me to slightly adjust my workflow so it's easier for you.

It almost works.

Problem is that the pending patch got converted to use <cr><lf> instead of
just <lf> as common in Linux. When I try to apply it with "git quiltimport",
it bails out with "trailing whitespace" errors. "git am" with the individual
patch works fine for some reason, though.

I can try to find a workaround, but it would be better to have the file in
linux file format to start with. Would that be possible ?

Alternatively, does anyone know how to apply files in DOS format (lines
terminated with cr/lf) using quiltimport ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Yeah, I've fixed it. I'll run dos2unix for every patch file.

Yes, it now works. Wonder how it comes that the patch in Greg's patch tree
didn't have the problem. Any idea ?

I am interested in the answer to your question. I used git am and then
ran checkpatch
on the patched file to make sure, there are no warnings. I didn't see
any warnings on
the files I patched with git am. Hope that means it is good.

Maybe I should start using dos2unix to be safe.

What patch in my tree has dos line endings?  None should...

The patch in your tree is fine. The same patch in Li's tree
had the problem, though he fixed it now.

I saved the patch from my email client, and turned out the lines ended
with CRLF.
