Hi all, During Kernel Summit Dave mentioned that there wasn't a clear maintainer for locking bits.
To remedy this Ingo suggested gathering all the various locking primitives and lockdep into a single place: kernel/locking/. I would further like to propose a MAINTAINERS entry like: LOCKING M: Ingo Molnar <mi...@redhat.com> M: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org> M: Oleg Nesterov <o...@redhat.com> M: "Paul E.
