The best practice is to have upstream patches that can apply cleanly to LTS kernels. - One patch that can be backported for the fix, one or more for clean-ups that apply only to master; - Identify pre-requisites that need to be backported first to make your fix apply cleanly; or - Handcraft the fix for each LTS kernel > Should I > submit the version that doesn't use disable_delayed_work(), then add a > patch which changes to use that instead of a flag ? Post an RFC here, let's see what you're thinking. -- Chuck Lever
