Fair point, the way I approached it was that I'd get the ACK from all of you on the overall implementation and then go ahead with providing additional things like LTP and man-pages drafts, before the merge is performed. > In general, I think it is good practice to provide a test along with any > fix, but for UAPI changes we need to hold higher standards - both the > test and man page draft should be a must before merge IMO. Agree, moving forward I will take this approach. > We already know there is going to be a clause about FAN_NOPIDFD > and so on...
