Andrew suggested I send my patches at -rc2. > they will live in linux-next until 3.8-final is out, and then go to > Linus for 3.9-rc1.

I think it'd be easier for a single downstream maintainer to coordinate these patch sets sequencing. You or Andrew might be better than you and Andrew. There is a small patch to printk that should likely be applied in some form for -rc1 or earlier: Sylvain Munaut's (cc'd) print_time fix: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1845971/ I don't know of anything else that likely will or should be applied before -rc1. Frederic Weisbecker (also cc'd) has a printk nohz patch series that merits some consideration too. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/20/94 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/14/646 I don't know if Ingo pulled it in somewhere or not. cheers, Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
