I'm happy to submit this patch to the kernel team, but I wanted to talk about the kernel process and ask a question first.
The way this process usually works is:
- patch submitted to kernel team
- kernel team checks patch and if they are happy with it, applies it to the kernel
- this is built into a "proposed" kernel.
- the bug is updated with the proposed kernel.
- someone - usually the bug reporter - must verify that the proposed kernel fixes the bug. There is usually a 5 working day window to do this.
- if the verification is done, the new kernel contains the fix. If verification is not done, the patch is not included in the released kernel.
I am not able to do the verification. If the kernel team provides a proposed kernel, are you or your customer able to verify it?
