Hi Reid, it's not only about caring, this is mostly an issue of time. Basically, we race to support the "important" kernels (i.e. the ones our paying customers request), but that takes up a lot of time already, so there is not a lot left for more "exotic" kernels. Whenever we are already compatible with the most recent "customer relevant kernel", I just start going through the remaining patches in chronological order. If they are easy to port, they get done pretty quickly. If they are more convoluted (like the recent bio_alloc mess), it might take more time. What I'm trying to say is that it's tough to even give a rough estimate on when a specific patch will get ported to out-of-tree. The only thing I can share – if it provides any solace – is that the patch you are referencing is currently #3 in the queue, so it will possibly get done in the near future. Again, unfortunately I can't make any promises. ... and this is why we'll all be happy when DRBD is finally *only* in the upstream kernel again :) -- Christoph Böhmwalder LINBIT | Keeping the Digital World Running DRBD HA — Disaster Recovery — Software defined Storage _______________________________________________ Star us on GITHUB: https://github.com/LINBIT drbd-user mailing list drbd-user@lists.linbit.com https://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
