Stable kernel maintenance for distributions

Linux stable releases

+
    +
  • + Linus releases a 'stable' 3.x every 2-3 months after + a series of release candidates +
    • +
  • + Greg K-H maintains a 'stable branch' for each Linus release, with + releases numbered 3.x.y +
    • +
  • + Stable branch includes cherry-picked or backported changes to + fix serious bugs and add support for new devices +
    • +
  • + Stable update releases roughly every 1-2 weeks, at least until + 3.x+1 is available +
    • +
  • + A 'long-term' stable branch may be maintained by Greg or another + developer beyond this period +
    • +
+
+ +
+

The stable update process (1)

+
    +
  • + All changes go to mailing + list stable@vger.kernel.org +
    • +
  • + A commit with a Cc: pseudo-header for this address will + be picked up by stable maintainers once Linus pulls the commit +
    • +
  • + If it doesn't apply to a stable branch, the author is usually + notified and may provide a backported version +
    • +
  • + Any commit in Linus's tree, or a fix for a stable-only + regression, can be nominated by mail to this list, if it + meets the criteria + +
    • +
