A good way to make sure that patches fixing regressions are applied to the -rc series is to indicate in the commit message or even the heading that it fixes a regression.
I usually try to begin such commits with the text:
this patch fixes a regression caused by change 018745435 "foo: fix bar"...
Then copying in some crash dump text never hurts :-)
It makes it very easy for us as subsystem maintainers to pick regression fixes.
Yours, Linus Walleij
