I thought I'd caught things early enough to get away with the rename and deletion of that. You could either:
a) open code an implementation of vaddr_put_pages_dirty_lock() that doesn't call any of the *put_user_pages_dirty*() variants, or
b) include my first patch ("") are part of your series, or
c) base this on Andrews's tree, which already has merged in my first patch.
Yep I can do this. I did not realize that Andrew had accepted any of this work. I'll check out his tree. But I don't think he is going to accept this series through his tree. So what is the ETA on that landing in Linus' tree?
To that point I'm still not sure who would take all this as I am now touching mm, procfs, rdma, ext4, and xfs.
MM tree would be one candidate for routing but there are other options that would make sense as well - Dan's tree, VFS tree, or even I can pickup the patches to my tree if needed. But let's worry about the routing after we have working and reviewed patches...
