From bde1b29420d71a17d87332db8e20229f251d6c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoffer Dall Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 22:01:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] stable: Update documentation to clarify preferred procedure Clearly specify that "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" is strongly preferred so that developers understand that the other options should only be used when absolutely required. Also specify how upstream commit ids should be referenced in patches submitted directly to stable (I gathered this from looking at the stable archives), and specify that any modified patches for stable should be clearly documented in the patch description.
