Sorry for coming back to this with a little delay, due to the 21.10 FF and the 20.04.3 RCs ...
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. Does that mean that the commits 27c4f6738bdc to 91ffc519c199 from comment #5 all needed to be touched and are backports? And that the remaining ones are all just plain exports - w/o any modification, hence can simply be cherry-picked? This distinction is very crucial and need to be added to each of the commits, so that the entire provenance of the commit/patch is traceable. So in other words all commits that had to be touches ('backported') need to have lines like this: " (backported from commit 5620ae29f1eabe655f44335231b580a78c8364ea) Signed-off-by: First-Name Last-Name <first-name.last-n...@domain.com> " (like described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat this is not unique to the Canonical kernel team procedure, but a kind of a de-facto standard ...) Here is an example LP bug with backports attached: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1925452 Generally the others would need lines like this: " (cherry picked from commit d4e0018e3e4dd685af25d300fd26a0d5a984482e) Signed-off-by: First-Name Last-Name <first-name.last-n...@domain.com> " But the 'cherry-picked' lines do not need to be added manually, since git helps on doing this. (If you grep for 'backport' or 'cherry-picked' though the list of patches in your zip file I get no hits.) --- So what we need is: 1) separate 'backport' files of the modified commits only, that have a 'backported' AND an additional 'Signed-off-by' line included by the backporter (no files are needed for commits that can just be cherry picked) 2) a list / sequence of the backport files AND cherry pick commits, that allows to get the entire set of needed commits/patches (cherry-picks and backports) applied to the Ubuntu focal master-next git tree [git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-focal --branch master-next --single-branch] (we need to be able to re-run and re-apply this again) The rest can( and is) usually done by us - means reapplying them, pushing then to a remote git branch on Launchpad and finally sending a pull request (incl. cover letter) to the Canonical kernel teams mailing list. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1939618 Title: EP11 cards going offline => Fix backport to U20.04LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1939618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
