@@ -26,13 +26,33 @@ Procedure for submitting patches to the -stable tree: 


 - Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to

   stable@kernel.org.

 - To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the

   the tag

     Cc: stable@kernel.org

   in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to

   the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author

   or subsystem maintainer.

 - If the patch requires other patches as prerequisites which can be

   cherry-picked than this can be specified in the following format in

   the sign-off area:



     Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x: a1f84a3: sched: Check for idle

     Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x: 1b9508f: sched: Rate-limit newidle

     Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x: fd21073: sched: Fix affinity logic

     Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # .32.x

    Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>



   The tag sequence has the meaning of:

     git cherry-pick a1f84a3

     git cherry-pick 1b9508f

     git cherry-pick fd21073

     git cherry-pick <this commit>



 - The sender will receive an ACK when the patch has been accepted into the

   queue, or a NAK if the patch is rejected.  This response might take a few

   days, according to the developer's schedules.

 - If accepted, the patch will be added to the -stable queue, for review by

   other developers and by the relevant subsystem maintainer.

 - If the stable@kernel.org address is added to a patch, when it goes into

   Linus's tree it will automatically be emailed to the stable team.

 - Security patches should not be sent to this alias, but instead to the

   documented security@kernel.org address.
