There are two branches, one for the SCSI core and upper level drivers, and one for low-level (hardware) drivers: git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/scsi-queue.git core-for-3.16 git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/scsi-queue.git drivers-for-3.16 The rules for the tree are: - it has at least two positive reviews (non-author signoff, reviewed-by or acked-by tags). In practice this means it had at least one and I added another one. - no negative review on the mailing list - it applies cleanly - it compiles cleanly (drivers for architectures I can't test excluded) - for core the core branch: survives a full xfstests run I went through the linux-scsi archives for March, April and May and applied all patches that clearly fit the above criteria, but it's fairly like I missed some. If I'm missing your patch(es): - resend it unless it was sent in the last few weeks - make sure all reviews are recorded in the most recent post of the patch(es) - ping the list for additional reviewers For now the prime intent of the tree is to feed it to James, although I'd welcome everyone interested to pull and test it. If the scheme proves successful I'd love to invite more core scsi contributors to help with it and move to a shared kernel.org tree.
