What happened to this series, should it be resent? Do people agree that usbip is ready to migrate out of staging in general? The README lists these TODO items: - more discussion about the protocol - testing - review of the userspace interface - document the protocol The protocol has been documented and discussed in some depth. Not everybody seems to love it yet I don't think any significant flaws have been shown in the protocol. There can always be more testing. :) That leaves the userspace interface. Is it good enough to be made official? If so it should probably be added to Documentation/ABI. Thanks, Max
