Hi, I've got some very sad news to share with you - over Christmas, Shaohua Li passed away after battling cancer for most of last year.
It is really a sad news and a big lost for the community consider Shaohua's great contribution!
As you know, Shaohua acted as the maintainer for md. He remained dedicated to that through the difficult times. With his passing, we obviously have a void that needs to be filled.
It is better if there is a small team to maintain md in future since nobody have broad/deep knowledge as Neil or Shaohua, also people in the team can cover/backup each other, see [1].
For now, I'll act as interim maintainer for md until we can find a good permanent solution. I'll queue up reviewed patches in a separate branch, in the block tree, and help review fixes. I'm subscribed to linux-raid, but please do CC me as well.
Thanks, I think there are some patches in shli/md/for-next which supposed to be merge to 4.21, could you please help to merge them to your branch? And I suppose you will send a patch to CREDITS for Shaohua. [1]. https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/21/9 Regards, Guoqing
