Subject[PATCH 5.0 197/238] stable-kernel-rules.rst: add link to networking patch queue
Date
5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit a41e8f25fa8f8f67360d88eb0eebbabe95a64bdf upstream.

The networking maintainer keeps a public list of the patches being
queued up for the next round of stable releases. Be sure to check there
before asking for a patch to be applied so that you do not waste
people's time.
