[20:02] <Alsyia> Hi, would this be place to ask a question about why an upstream kernel patch is not included in the corresponding Ubuntu kernel?
[20:22] <sarnold> yes, that'd be on-topic here
[20:27] <Alsyia> So the patch is this one, Jul 2021: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/12/1687
[20:27] <Alsyia> My understanding is that it was included in upstream kernel 5.12 (but I'm starting to think I'm wrong about that? I'm not familiar with kernel dev conventions!) but I checked the source for my 5.13 kernel and it's not included in it. The related bug I'm interested about is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1929591
[20:29] <Alsyia> *for my Ubuntu 5.13 kernel, sorry
[20:32] <sarnold> https://kernel.dance/#ad3fc798800fb7ca04c1dfc439dba946818048d8 -- it looks like it did land in the 5.12 stable series, yeah
[20:34] <Alsyia> Thanks! Is is normal that there is no 5.12 tags in the list here? https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ad3fc798800fb7ca04c1dfc439dba946818048d8
[20:39] <sarnold> I'm not entirely sure how all that works.. you can see the backport on eg https://github.com/gregkh/linux/commit/27f9d646b165cb0f1d64989b19b50498dff93379
[20:59] <Alsyia> Ah, thanks
[21:00] <Alsyia> I'm not sure either ^^ But thanks for the help, this gives some pointers to continue looking
