Adding support for skipping files in kernel patch. This will add tests / documentation for said patch.

[goldsteinn]

This is to add testing / documentation for patch: 0001-io_uring-Add-skip-option-for-__io_sqe_files_update.patch if it is applied.

Should not be accepted unless the patch is as well.

The mystery for me is where the kernel patch itself...

[axboe]

It was posted. Seems like lore/vger has some issues these days, so slow...

[goldsteinn]

The mystery for me is where the kernel patch itself...

its not on lore yet but should be visible through email ccd to:

axboe@kernel.dk,
viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk,
io-uring@vger.kernel.org,
linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org,
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org,
goldstein.w.n@gmail.com

I'll add you directly as a cc in the future (if you want. now that I think about you might not want to clutter your email).

For now forwarded it to you.

Delivered after 9630 seconds, nice...

Looks like a good occasion to finally add myself into /MAINTEINERS.
How about removing io_uring from under Al/fsdevel?

[axboe]

I'll add you to maintainers. But yes, it's really annoying why it keeps adding Al when you just use the maintainers script. Not sure there's a way to solve that without moving it into kernel/io_uring/ (which would be more appropriate than fs/io_uring/).

Actually just send a patch for that yourself :-)

[isilence]

X: exclude from FILESYSTEMS, maybe? It works, but kind of...

[axboe]

Yeah, it'd work for that entry. Arguably io_uring should just be moved, but let's just work around it instead.

Since I'm not committing directly, reviewer (aka R:) makes more sense, don't you think?

[axboe]

Sure, that works for me. It means you'll get CC'ed on patches, which would eliminate annoying delays like today.

Agree, bad for history and doesn't matter anyway.

[axboe]

git would track the history fine, but it'd be a pain for backports etc. No point in having such a flag day, location doesn't really matter if we can fix this maintainers annoyance.
