linux-stable kernel download problem

[ccnuktd]

Hi,

When I run make update-submodules, the download of the linux kernel is so slow that I choose to download from the mirror site.

After I confirm that the downloaded content of the mirror station and the original station are correct, I use git checkout eceb0b1 to switch to correct version.

But error shows.

ccnuktd@LAPTOP-TNKPRGBT:~/linux-stable$ git checkout eceb0b1
error: pathspec 'eceb0b1' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Is linux-stable @ eceb0b1 on the project home page correct?

I re-execute make update-submodules, I still need to download some files. The download speed of these files is so slow that it may take my days to download the updated content. What I am confused about is that I downloaded the latest Linux kernel from the mirror site, why do I still need to download other content here.
Here is some message.

I find the problem. I download linux-kernel but we need linux-kernel stable.
There is a faster mirror site.
https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/linux-stable.git/

I have the same issue, where make update-submodules hangs while cloning into .../vivado-risc-v/linux-stable.
I noticed that the linux-stable folder on the repo isn't actually pointing to a different repo, maybe this is the problem?

linux-stable folder is cloned from git.kernel.org, which is the official repository for Linux kernel. If git.kernel.org accsess is too slow at your location, you can redirect git to a mirror by creating .gitconfig file in your home directory, with lines like these:

[url "[https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/help/linux-stable.git/"]
        insteadOf = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
