While looking for something else I stumbled upon an unfamiliar change to the file drivers/isdn/usb-gigaset.c in the current git version wrt 2.6.21. git-blame attributes it to d626f62b which resolves to: Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Date: Tue Mar 27 18:55:52 2007 -0300 [SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_from_linear_data{_offset} To clearly state the intent of copying from linear sk_buffs, _offset being a overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> But I cannot remember seeing that patch via the maintainer addresses for ISDN or the Gigaset driver, and the LKML archive doesn't seem to have it either. Where was that patch discussed? What is its rationale? And more generally: is there a way to get notified if someone submits a patch that affects a file of which I am a maintainer?
