Let's see how > people respond to actual conversions. The part improving the kthread worker API and the intel powerclamp conversion seem to be ready for the mainline. But it is getting too late for 4.7. I am going to resend this part of the patch set separately after the 4.7 merge window finishes with the aim for 4.8. The other conversions are spread over many subsystems, so I will send them separately. Tejun, may I add your ack for some of the patches, please? Or do you want to wait for the resend? Andrew, I wonder if it could go via the -mm tree once I get the acks. Best Regards, Petr -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
