Brett, can you elaborate on what's missing from my next branch vs linux-next? AFAICT the pds_vdpa driver went into mainline via a8d70602b186 ("Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost") during the v6.5 merge window and I'm not spotting anything in linux-next obviously relevant to pds-vfio-pci since then. There's a debugfs fix on the list, but that's sufficiently trivial to fixup on merge if necessary. This series also applies cleanly vs my current next branch. Was the issue simply that I hadn't updated my next branch (done yesterday) since the v6.5 merge window? You can always send patches vs mainline. Thanks, Alex
