That's my fault. When I decided to skip version 5.12 because there were only few minor commits, I should have merged next into master. I'll do it tomorrow. > Michal, I assume we are expected to send new features to next? If so, > can you please update the web page [1] ? I don't insist on the strict division between fixes and features. The main purpose of next branch is to queue changes to be merged after the closest release because their kernel counterpart is in net-next and is not going to be present in the closest kernel. On the other hand, I also plan to use it for stuff which feels too intrusive to be merged into master shortly before a new release. Thanks for the reminder, I'll review the web page and update the information. Michal > Thanks > > [1] https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/devel.html
