Hello, Linus, The v6.11 RCU pull request will be coming from me, in part to avoid my getting too far out of practice and in part because the pull request will be coming from our shiny new shared RCU tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux We expect that future pull requests will be coming from this tree, the exception being when we are bringing in (or, in the case of Joel, back) a new member. Part of the preparation work for getting permissions for the shared tree will be sending a pull request. I will give you advance notice of any future new-member pull requests. I will continue to send you non-RCU pull requests from my own tree. Please let me know of any questions or concerns. Thanx, Paul
