Since lot of embedded folks will be on 3.10 then would have been nicer if it went to stable.
"It'd be nice" doesn't satisfy the condition for stable kernels, unfortunately.
On the other hand if there's an issue which essentially every user is most likely going to end up backporting a fix for it seems reasonable to consider getting that resolved. Personally I'd be a lot more conservative than Vinod with this one and only consider the fix for blocking during drain. The current series seems rather invasive though.
Not all are marked for stable. Only thecouple to fix locking problem and defination of sampling_rate. Rest will go thru usual cycle, though I suspect with folks in embedded will take complete series.
