a) Contentless pings have never been acceptable. If you genuinely think a patch has been forgotten you should resubmit with a [RESEND]. That is their entire purpose.
Sure, but I really believe a light *ping* is much better than a complete resend to start with. It generates far less noise.
b) You submitted this patch right at the end of the release cycle, and your ping was sent during the merge-window. Most Maintainers, myself included, like to have patches soak tested in -next for at least a couple of weeks prior to acceptance.
I agree to that, I sent it after rc6. I wasn't looking to get this merged during this cycle, but was wondering if it got missed or something like that.
I still don't think that a simple Ping was that bad of an option, but its fine. Take your time to review this, no issues.
Cheers.
