Following the release of the 2.6.20 kernel [story] Andrew Morton [interview] posted a list of patches in his -mm kernel, summarizing for each his plans as to whether or not they will be pushed upstream for inclusion in the upcoming 2.6.21 kernel. Andrew commented, "I'm getting fed up of holding onto hundreds of patches against subsystem trees, sending them over and over again and seeing nothing happen. I sent 242 patches out to subsystem maintainers on Monday and look at what's still here." In response to some confusion as to what happens to these patches, he went on explain, "once a subsystem has a subsystem tree (git or quilt) I basically never merge anything which belongs to that tree. It's always originator->mm->subsystemtree->Linus".

Will > merge. Once a subsystem has a subsystem tree (git or quilt) I basically never merge anything which belongs to that tree. It's always originator->mm->subsystemtree->Linus If the subsystem tree maintainer wants to tell me "I can't be bothered setting up a git pull for that, please merge it for me" then that's fine. But unless I'm told that, or unless the maintainer is vacationing or totally asleep or unless the fix has some sufficiently high obviousness*importance product, I'll just keep buffering it up.

What about the sort of thing that crosses all archs? For example, the local_t changes? Particularly in the case where the change has to be made in generic code and in all archs at the same time, it makes sense to me for you to send the whole batch to Linus at the same time, rather than individual arch maintainers all sending their bit at varying times.

It's better of course if the changes aren't both-way dependent and often we do it that way. But if they really are that bound together then I'll stage the patch in -mm, ensure that it doesn't conflict with any queued-up arch patches and will merge it after the arch trees have gone in.
