Since about a year ago we've switched drm/i915 to buffer around 2 weeks worth of patches so that we can do decent QA before breaking everyone's tree when things land in Dave's drm-next. But that also means we'll miss out a bit in the integration testing -next provides, which did hurt a bit in recent efforts. Hence can you please include
git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel drm-intel-next-queued
into linux-next? Probably best to merge it after drm-next. Note that drm-intel-next are the QA'ed chunks I send off to Dave. Also, any mailing lists I'm supposed to follow? And if possible please cc intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org besides dri-devel/lkml when conflicts with that tree pop up (you won't get moderation spam any more, we've fixed that up).
Added from today. I am in two minds a bit since I really like stuff in linux-next to have been reviewed and debugged as much as possible. But I have added it and will keep an eye on how many problems it causes.
Problem reports will go to you, intel-gfx and dri-devel. You can follow linux-next@vger.kernel.org (I sometimes post stuff there that goes nowhere else (except lkml - which noone seems to notice :-)).
Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As you may know, this is not a judgment of your code. The purpose of linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.
You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have been: * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's Signed-off-by, * posted to the relevant mailing list, * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree), * successfully unit tested, and * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.
Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.
