All that to say, I am not sure how much else I will want to take for 7.4 at this point, as I would like to have the kbuild tree basically finalized by 7.3-rc7, which is the weekend right after Plumbers if my calendar is correct. I would like to study these patches to make sure I understand everything well and I don't think I will have the time to do that until after the 7.4 merge window opens. > Thanks for all your help with this! Is much appreciated. Absolutely, thanks for engaging and trying to make Kbuild better :) -- Cheers, Nathan
