Well this needs to be addressed yes but in order to have that done someone needs to step forward do the proper work, maintain git trees, do the review and show up for the conferences. Neither Roland nor Or was there at the Infiniband conferences in Monterey this year(!) and this is the prime venue for face to face conversation about the subsystem each year.
Just looked at the MAINTAINERS file: Surprise: We already have 3 maintainers for the IB subsystem: INFINIBAND SUBSYSTEM M: Roland Dreier <[email protected]> M: Sean Hefty <[email protected]> M: Hal Rosenstock <[email protected]> L: [email protected] W: http://www.openfabrics.org/ Q: http://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rdma/list/ T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git S: Supported F: Documentation/infiniband/ F: drivers/infiniband/ F: include/uapi/linux/if_infiniband.h Sean and Hal showed up for the conference. Sean is active mostly in focusing on userspace stuff. Both could become more involved in the kernel ib tree and the review process? Hal is employed by Mellanox but is not participating in these patch related discussions? Can Mellanox give Hal more time for his role as the kernel ib subsystem maintainer? Maybe you could get that resolved at Mellanox? You already have one of your own as a maintainer of the IB subsystem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
