Yeah, they are changes that were originally targeting the v5.9 merge window (and thus were in -next during July/August) but I didn't get the chance to send a pull request for them. Since I didn't touch my -next branch since then they are also in 'next-20201013' and 'next-20201015'. I just rebased to v5.9 to make sure the 1-line changes that touch kernel/capability.c, kernel/groups.c and kernel/sys.c still applied cleanly without conflicts. Should I have rebased onto one of the -rc's for v5.9 instead? > > And if so, why was I sent some different version? > > Linus
