Dear Steve, dear Namjae, I am tracking consistency of the MAINTAINERS file and noticed: Commit 332c404a55ef ("cifs: add cifs_common directory to MAINTAINERS file") and commit e9e3d5f9e34c ("MAINTAINERS: ksmbd: add cifs_common directory to ksmbd entry") add the file entry fs/cifs_common/ to the sections COMMON INTERNET FILE SYSTEM CLIENT (CIFS) and KERNEL SMB3 SERVER (KSMBD). However, as of now, there is no fs/cifs_common/ directory in the mainline tree or in the latest linux-next tree. Hence, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains: warning: no file matches F: fs/cifs_common/ Are there more commits to come that will add or move files to fs/cifs_common/, or did you decide against introducing fs/cifs_common/ in the course of the development and these commits are left-over from a previous development? Best regards, Lukas
