I'm fine either way as well.

We push out bpf and bpf-next typically once a week to sync, but in case
of potential merge conflict or a dependency that we need to pull into
bpf-next we can always push it out immediately and re-sync if we get a
heads up.

it depends on how often bpf-next gets synced with net-next, mlx5
constantly changes and
I can't gurantee no merge conflicts will occur.
IMHO, this series is more focused on device drivers and less on XDP or BPF,
so it makes more sense to post it to net-next, it will be less pain
for everyone,
especially for you Jesper :).

I have no personal preference, although it's probably best to go
through the bpf-next tree.

I totally understand :)

I noticed, but though that in-flight patchset's were still allowed...

> Don't worry, just resubmit when net-next opens back up.

At that point in time, should I got back to posting it against the
bpf-next git-tree again? Any preferences from Mellanox or BPF-guys?
... It have been a bit of a pain to keep track of driver changes in
net-next, and waiting for them to get merged into bpf-next.

Jesper, this series now looks good to me, however the net-next tree is
closed at this point.

Don't worry, just resubmit when net-next opens back up.

Thanks!
