3.12-stable kernel tree being taken over by Jiri Slaby

3.12-stable kernel tree being taken over by Jiri Slaby

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

As I hinted at in my kernel summit talk about the stable kernel tree, we
have a sucker^Wvolunteer who has stepped up to take over the longterm
maintenance of the 3.12 stable kernel tree.

Jiri Slaby will be doing this work, for how ever long he wants to do it.
I'll still be doing the final releases to kernel.org, like I do for 3.2,
but Jiri will be doing the collecting of patches and other real work
involved in it, including the announcements for its release.

The kernel.org page has already been updated with this information:
	https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

If anyone has any questions about this, please let me know.

David, I don't know if you want to keep doing 3.12-networking patches or
not, I'll let you work that out with Jiri directly.

thanks,

greg k-h

3.12 and 3.13 are very similar, so the work is minimal, therefore I'm
likely to keep doing it.

Hi, do you have any plans including:
commit 18fc25c94eadc52a42c025125af24657a93638c0
Author: Venkat Venkatsubra <venkat.x.venkatsubra@oracle.com>
Date:   Mon Dec 2 15:41:39 2013 -0800

    rds: prevent BUG_ON triggered on congestion update to loopback

which is not needed for 3.13, but is needed for 3.12 to fix CVE-2012-2372?

thanks,

Nevermind, cherry-pick taught me, that it is already in 3.12.8. We just
have a different fix in the suse tree which should be dropped now.

Sorry for the noise.

Feel free to integrate this directly into your -stable tree.

Thanks.

Jiri,

do you want me to keep running my build tests on the patch queue for 3.12 ?

If yes, I'll probably need to know the location of your (quilt ?) repository
so I can import the patches, similar to what I do for 3.2 and the releases
managed by Greg.

Thanks,
Guenter

Hi Jiri,

I test all stable release candidates Greg KH maintains including 3.12. 
Would you like me to continue to do that for your 3.12 releases going 
forward? If yes, could you please include me on your cc list.

thanks,

definitely yes, if you could.

I've just published the stable-3.12-queue at:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jirislaby/linux-stable.git/log/?h=stable-3.12-queue

aka

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jirislaby/linux-stable.git#stable-3.12-queue

Published trees will appear in the stable-3.12 branch in the same
repository.

thanks a lot,

All set up and working as far as I can see.
