In Documentation/process/howto.rst - After two weeks a -rc1 kernel is released and the focus is on making the new kernel as rock solid as possible. Most of the patches at this point should fix a regression. Bugs that have always existed are not regressions, so only push these kinds of fixes if they are important. and Documentation/process/2.Process.rst The merge window lasts for approximately two weeks. At the end of this time, Linus Torvalds will declare that the window is closed and release the first of the "rc" kernels. For the kernel which is destined to be 9.x, for example, the release which happens at the end of the merge window will be called 9.x-rc1. The -rc1 release is the signal that the time to merge new features has passed, and that the time to stabilize the next kernel has begun. and Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst says when to add Cc: stable - It fixes a problem like an oops, a hang, data corruption, a real security issue, a hardware quirk, a build error (but not for things marked CONFIG_BROKEN), or some "oh, that's not good" issue. > > Maybe I have missed that memo, who knows? > > All I know is that stable folks appreciate and more or less rely on CC:stable > from the patch committers so that they can know to pick up the patch quick.
