For the lnet/libcfs layer it is the lastest code so none.
For the lustre client code the further back you go the
more older patches are missing. The last 6 months I have
been filling in those gaps. Currently we are at the 2.5.58
version with this last code drop. As we approach the latest
release way less patches are needed to get caught up. Once
we get to the 2.6+ version of lustre the number of missing
patches should drop off greatly. Thats not to far away now.
I would estimate a few hundred patches are missing. Mind you
this is considering that larger patches need to be broken up.
For this last code drop 30 of the 50 patches was from an
original single large patch.
