I was thinking to have them in the MIPS tree to be honest. The original MIPS/BPF went via the MIPS tree as well. It also makes it easier for me to work with Ralf on minor fixes, merge conflicts etc. > > Different arch maintainers take different stance towards bpf jit > changes. x86, arm and s390 are ok with them going through Dave's trees, > since often there are dependencies on bpf core parts. > So please state clearly what tree you want these patches to go in. > > btw, in the net-next tree bpf testsuite has 246 tests and the last > ten are very stressful for JITs. Interesting. Thanks. I will rebase my tree shortly after 4.2-rc1 then and run the testsuite again. I will post a v2 if I spot more problems with it. -- markos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
