We recently received a patch for fs/exportfs/expfs.c, but there isn't a subsystem maintainer listed for fs/exportfs: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:2/2=100%,authored:1/2=50%,added_lines:3/6=50%,removed_lines:2/6=33%) Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/2=50%,authored:1/2=50%,added_lines:3/6=50%,removed_lines:4/6=67%) Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/2=50%) Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/2=50%) linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list) Neil says: > Looking at recent commits, patches come in through multiple > different trees. > nfsd certainly has an interest in expfs.c. The only other user is > name_to_handle/open_by_handle API. > I see it as primarily nfsd functionality which is useful enough to > be exported directly to user-space. > (It was created by me when I was nfsd maintainer - does that > count?)
