ODP RDMA is the third driver and i gave link to the patch that also use the 2 new functions that this patchset introduce. Do you want more ? I guess i will repost with updated ack as Felix, Jason and few others told me they were fine with it. > > Today I discover that Alex has cherrypicked "mm/hmm: use reference > counting for HMM struct" into a tree which is fed into linux-next which > rather messes things up from my end and makes it hard to feed a > (possibly modified version of) that into Linus. :( i did not know the tree they pull that in was fed into next. I will discourage them from doing so going forward. > So I think I'll throw up my hands, drop them all and shall await > developments :( What more do you want to see ? I can repost with the ack already given and the improve commit wording on some of the patch. But from user point of view nouveau is already upstream, ODP RDMA depends on this patchset and is posted and i have given link to it. amdgpu is queue up. What more do i need ? Cheers, Jérôme
