Yes it has been merged, however given that the merge window only opened recently the 3.15 release will be 3-4 months away. Given that time frame its not likely that 3.15 will make it into the autumns Linux distribution releases. Probably be a year before this gets into the hands of users.
(unless someone backports it or you build your own kernel)

- josteink 13y agoIt sounds like you're using a distro that does just this, but is too modest to go name-dropping. May I ask what distro(s) you had in mind?
- dbaupp 13y agoI seem to get kernel updates using Debian Unstable (I don't pay much attention; but my current kernel is 3.13 and I installed my current OS years ago) and I think Arch does too. I'm sure there's others.
- chronid 13y agoGentoo, Arch at least (and related distros). I also believe Fedora does that.
- zanny 13y agoSuse tumbleweed, the Kernel Developers PPA, Debian Experimental / Unstable, Arch, Fedora Rawhide, and Gentoo all deliver new kernels usually within a month of release, most within days (albeit more buggy).
- mikevm 13y agoThat blog post mentions ATA and SCSI patches, but only a SCSI patch was merged, any idea why?
