Moral_I am a kernel dev at Intel. We want to cherry pick a commit staged for 4.16 into the Bionic tree and submit it. We know the freeze date is coming up quick. 2 Questions: 1. Are we allowed to even cherry pick non-security stuff out of a release that's in RC? 2. I assume the process for submitting our pathc is documented somewhere on the wiki? (slowly picking through it)16:55

cascardoMoral_: first, you need to open a bug, that bug must be present in the commit message17:02
cascardoI am not sure there is some updated documentation about that, but you can look at other messages in the mailing list17:03
Moral_ok I will take a look, thx.17:04
cascardoif it's on linus' tree already, on an RC, just use cherry-pick -x to add the upstream commit information17:05
cascardoif you needed to fix any conflicts, or change the original commit in some other way, change "cherry picked from" to "backported from"17:06
cascardoand indicate in the subject header (between brackets) the series you are targeting, like [Bionic PATCH], for example17:06
cascardoMoral_: hope that helps. look for the BugLink lines on other messages17:07
Moral_Yeah, that was helpful. Gonna test then submit something here soon.17:09
