Subject: [dpdk-stable] What kind of commits can be backported to help the process
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 11:23:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170215102345.GU23344@autoinstall.dev.6wind.com> (raw)

Hi stable mailing list,

As written in the subject, it is not fully clear on what kind of patches
can enter this branch.

Some fixes apply easily on top of other ones which may not be related,
the question is on those "unrelated" patches.  Is it acceptable to
backport them, and if yes at what point is it acceptable depending on
the nature of the patch:

 1. Re-work: just a refactor of some structure, clean-up, ...
 2. Behavior: it change the behavior of a part of the code, ...
 3. Performances: it impacts performances (positively or negatively).
 4. None, the patch must apply by itself.
 5. ...

What is the expectation for this branch?

Thanks,
