My understanding from my discussion with tglx was that if the API change waiting for 4.15, then the conversions would have to wait until 4.16. With most conversions only depending on the new API, it seemed silly to wait another whole release when the work is just waiting to be merged. But yes, timing was not ideal. I did try to get it in earlier, but I think tglx was busy with other concerns. -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
