Regardless of what we end up doing long term, Roland is out at the moment, so 4.1 is happening more or less without him :-/ I went ahead and put together a 4.1 branch and pulled the patches I thought were ready. That’s been pushed to my github. I know it’s hard to get things done without being able to make sure your patches apply cleanly. For instance, the namespace patches aren’t included, and that’s at least partially because they didn’t apply cleanly any more. So, I included the following series of patches: My IPoIB changes Erez’s IPoIB changes Or’s mlx4 changes Sagi’s iSER changes The two patch fixup to the CVE issue A few other miscellaneous patches Let’s take this as a starting point. If there are other patches people think should make 4.1, please bring them to my attention and I’ll add them for review and possible addition to the list. git://github.com/dledford/linux.git for-4.1 > Thanks, > Pradeep > -- > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ira.weiny > Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 5:13 AM > To: Doug Ledford > Cc: Jason Gunthorpe; Yann Droneaud; Hefty, Sean; Roland Dreier; Hal > Rosenstock; David Miller; Or Gerlitz; [email protected]; > [email protected]; Amir Vadai; Sagi Grimberg; Haggai Eran; Shachar Raindel > Subject: Re: Stepping down as maintainer (was Re: [PATCH for-next 0/9] mlx4 > changes in virtual GID management) > > On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 01:14:40PM -0400, Doug Ledford wrote: >> >>> On Apr 13, 2015, at 12:42 PM, Jason Gunthorpe > <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> On Sun, Apr 12, 2015 at 07:16:33PM +0200, Yann Droneaud wrote: >>> >>>> That would make sense to have someone like Doug or Jason being the >>>> potential successors to Roland in order to keep InfiniBand >>>> subsystem vendor neutrality. >>> >>> Several people have been asking me privately, I am looking into if >>> this would be possible or not. >>> >> >> Same here (having been asked privately to look into doing this). >> FWIW, > Red Hat has agreed that they are willing to allow me to transition my job to > a full time upstream focused position (as of now, I work on upstream around > my deliverables inside the company). >> > > I think Doug and Jason are both qualified. > > However, with Red Hat willing to dedicate Doug full time I think that makes > Doug an ideal candidate considering the patch load. > > Ira > > -- > 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 > — Doug Ledford <[email protected]> GPG Key ID: 0E572FDD
