Hi, As I'm currently preparing another fix for i40e, and the last one I submitted has been stuck for about two weeks now, I would like to ask some details about the process to submit fixes for i40e/i40evf drivers, before I do something wrong again.
Do all the patches have to go through Intel's patchwork, no matter what's the perceived severity of the issue? Should I still submit them to netdev anyway? Which trees should I check before submitting a patch? Is it enough to check the master branch of jkirsher/net-queue.git and jkirsher/next-queue.git? Once patches reach Intel's patchwork, will they need to wait for some kind of periodically scheduled pull request process? I don't know if a process is actually defined at this level of detail, but still I feel it's wrong that an obvious fix for a potential crash is waiting in some sort of limbo for 10 days now. Sure, worse things happen in the world, but I can't understand what this patch is waiting for. Any answer is appreciated. Thanks, -- Stefano
