[14:26] <enyc> I would like to understand, will upstream kernel fixes in stable 5.4 series automatically make into ubuntu Kernel 5.4.0-43 [and onwards] new kernel provided by ubuntu?
[14:26] <enyc> e.g. Kernel floppy maintainer confirms a certain race-condition/contended case I experience is fixed in 5.4.47 onwards upstream!
[14:26] <enyc> Oh !!! I see Channel topic!
[14:27] <enyc> Which presumably means ''yes''!
[17:53] <bjf> enyc, yes. we pick up and apply upstream stable fixes on a regular basis and put them out every 3 weeks
[18:52] <enyc> bjf: if it helps to ask explicitly,  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11570219/  [commit id in stable tree is 29ed45653bec]  in stable branch since 5.4.47   could go in please
[18:53] <enyc> bjf: in any case, when is the next 3-weekly-update ?
[19:07] <enyc> Hrrm. I se ethat might also only be ubuntu kernel maintainers, nt necesasrially a new version in focal-updates of course.  ...
[19:07] <bjf> enyc, kernel.ubuntu.com has the schedule
[19:07] <enyc> bjf: aah i was starting to look at such tihngs ;p
[19:08] <enyc> bjf: OH so there may be a release tomorrow!  where are the intertim testing kernels aailable and all that?     I have seen somebode point me at ages ago i forget!
[19:09]  * enyc spanks enyc and reads wiki!
[19:11] <bjf> enyc, you commit is on the master-next branch and will come out in approx. 3 weeks from tommorrow
[19:11] <enyc> bjf: i see!
[19:11] <enyc> bjf: already or because I asked? ;-)
[19:12] <bjf> enyc, was already queued
[19:12] <enyc> bjf: ok im not finding for myself, where any testing kernel images can be downloaded or found!
[19:12] <bjf> enyc, there isn't one for that kernel yet. they will be built this coming week after the existing batch are released
[19:13] <enyc> bjf: i know, but still would like to know for reference
[19:13] <enyc> i appreciate new image will neext testing and all of that as per next cycle
[19:13] <bjf> enyc, i use this ppa for my testing: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/proposed
[19:13] <bjf> enyc, when kernels go to -proposed they also go to that ppa
[19:14] <bjf> enyc, it's easier than enabling all of -proposed
[19:14] <bjf> enyc, that way you only get kernels and not other packages in -proposed
[19:14] <enyc> bjf: yes, with no pinning krefluffle
[19:26] <enyc> bjf: thankyou for very helpful answers!
