Yes, there was a wealth of information, but I couldn't understand any of it because I have no idea what a TDP MMU is. Actually, the length of the intro message annoyed me, because I had to scan the whole thing to try to figure out whether he explained what a TDP MMU is anywhere in it. > The patches only touch kvm code, therefore David probably expected only kvm > reviewers to be interested---in which case, anyone who hasn't lived under a > rock for a year or two would know. He cc'd me. That's usually a request for a review. So I had to try to understand why I would care. At this point, I don't think I care. Somebody explain to me why I should care? That's the point of a cover letter. > Anyway the acronym is fairly > Google-friendly: > https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20201014182700.2888246-1-bgardon@xxxxxxxxxx/ > http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2010.2/07021.html Now I'm really confused, and I don't understand why I was cc'd at all. get_maintainer.pl going wild?
