First, Kishon is not convinced with the way the PCI Endpoint VNTB function driver is written currently. He prefers the VirtIO approach over the current one [1]. But while the conversation was still going on, the series got merged via NTB tree without any ACKs from the PCI/PCI_EP maintainers. Also, note that there was a patch touching the PCI Controller driver as well and that was also not ACKed [2]. If this trend is going to continue in the coming days, then I'm afraid that NTB might end up being a backdoor for PCI/PCI_EP patches :( Thanks, Mani [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220222162355.32369-4-Frank.Li@xxxxxxx [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220222162355.32369-2-Frank.Li@xxxxxxx > --- > MAINTAINERS | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS > index 64379c699903..47e9f86bd712 100644 > --- a/MAINTAINERS > +++ b/MAINTAINERS > @@ -14254,6 +14254,7 @@ W: https://github.com/jonmason/ntb/wiki > T: git git://github.com/jonmason/ntb.git > F: drivers/net/ntb_netdev.c > F: drivers/ntb/ > +F: drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-*ntb.c > F: include/linux/ntb.h > F: include/linux/ntb_transport.h > F: tools/testing/selftests/ntb/ > -- > 2.30.2 > -- மணிவண்ணன் சதாசிவம்
