Subject: ToDo: backport to v3.2 patches Fw: use hv_storvsc instead of ata_piix for IDE disks ( but not for the CD-ROM) Re: Kernel v3.2 used in SlackWare 14.00 please, backport all needed patches
Hi!
B.H.> I think Slackware might do better to
B.H.> backport the Hyper-V drivers from Linux 3.4,
In SlackWare 14.1 used Linux Kernel v3.8.X
with already fixed source code
i.e. "use hv_storvsc instead of ata_piix for IDE disks ( but not for the CD-ROM)"
work as need
But, in SlackWare 14.00 ( actual stable version of SlackWare)
used Linux Kernel v3.2
( Because backport requested at 2012-06-08 ( and apply to v3.4 -- Thanks!) has been ignored ( linux-3.2.45.tar.xz has
non-fixed ata_piix.c) in part v3.2
I ask about backport on 08/16/2012 09:53 AM :

Yes: backport source code related Hyper-V -- is right solution

i.e. need backport to all actual version after 3.1
cd006086fa5d ata_piix: defer disks to the Hyper-V drivers by default
and its prerequisite

IMHO, patches "does meet the stable_kernel_rules.txt rules" by _all_ criterias . . .
See info correlated with rules:
==
Rules on what kind of patches are accepted, and which ones are not, into the
"-stable" tree:
{
- It must be obviously correct and tested.
Tested ( but, in early implementaition): Ubuntu 12.04 + OpenSUSE
}
{
- It cannot be bigger than 100 lines, with context.
79 lines
+
47 lines
}

Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt. In short, you need
to identify the commit hash for each of the changes you want, and
provide the backported patch for any commits that can't simply be
cherry-picked. I'm not going to read through all of what you wrote to
work out exactly what's needed.
I think Slackware might do better to backport the Hyper-V drivers from
Linux 3.4, as Debian and Ubuntu have done with 3.2-based kernels. But
that sort of large backport isn't allowed on kernel.org stable branches.
Ben.
