    Subject[PATCH 4.14 18/41] netdev-FAQ: clarify DaveMs position for stable backports
    Date
    4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>

    [ Upstream commit 75d4e704fa8d2cf33ff295e5b441317603d7f9fd ]

    Per discussion with David at netconf 2018, let's clarify
    DaveM's position of handling stable backports in netdev-FAQ.

    This is important for people relying on upstream -stable
    releases.

    dash marker line as described in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst to
    temporarily embed that information into the patch that you send.

    +Q: Are all networking bug fixes backported to all stable releases?

    +A: Due to capacity, Dave could only take care of the backports for the last
    + 2 stable releases. For earlier stable releases, each stable branch maintainer
    + is supposed to take care of them. If you find any patch is missing from an
    + earlier stable branch, please notify stable@vger.kernel.org with either a
    + commit ID or a formal patch backported, and CC Dave and other relevant
    + networking developers.

    Q: Someone said that the comment style and coding convention is different
    for the networking content. Is this true?
