Hello Michael,
The latest version of this patch addressed all feedback I'm aware of when submitted last September, and I've seen no further comments from reviewers since then.
Could you please let me know where this stands and if anything further is needed?
Sorry, it's still sitting in my inbox :/
I was going to reply to suggest we split the tools change out. The headers under tools are usually updated by another maintainer, I think it might even be scripted.
Anyway I've applied your patch and done that (dropped the change to tools/.../errno.h), which should also mean the stable backport is more likely to work automatically.
It will hit mainline in v5.13-rc1 and then be backported to the stable trees.
I don't think you actually need the tools version of the header updated to fix your bug? In which case we can probably just wait for it to be updated automatically when the tools headers are sync'ed with the kernel versions.
cheers
I appreciate the follow up. My original bug was indeed with the tools header but is being patched locally, so waiting for those headers to sync with the kernel versions is fine if it simplifies things overall.
Thanks, Tony
