Prev: [PATCH 00/18] VFS: turn no_llseek into the default
Next: [PATCH 08/18] selinux: use generic_file_llseek
From: David Miller on 7 Jul 2010 17:50 A couple problems remaining in this patch set: 1) Too many bug fixes for this late in the -rc series of 2.6.35 Pick a smaller number of fixes, the most critical ones, perhaps 2 or 3, and re-submit those for net-2.6 Pick the ones that produce easily triggers crashes or documented regressions present on the official lkml regression list. Send the rest in for net-next-2.6 2) Bumping the driver version every patch in a patch series is pointless. Do the bump once, at the end of the series.

The version numbers bumps although seemingly pointless (and harmless), make my life easy to track and maintain the bug#-to-fix mapping.

But in an upstream context, they make no sense at all. Anyone running upstream, is going to run at the last version bump you make in the driver, so what users report to you as the driver version will be correct.
