- em-bee 3y agoWhat is Linux-Next? Does it have any official standing? it appears so: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjUX287gJCKDXUY02Wpot1n0VkjQk-PmDOmrsrEfwPfPg@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjUX287gJCKDXUY02Wpot1n0V... i find it surprising that this is not clearly formalized and publicized. even kent, the bcachefs developer could not get a clear answer on whether submission to linux-next was needed or not until now. on the other hand, it seems like an odd question (for kent) to ask. if i know about the existence of linux-next why would i not just submit there first? from linus side the problem could be solved by simply only ever pulling from linux-next. that would send a clear message. if it's not in there, then it won't make it into the release. no exceptions.
