We do actually need to all work together, so I urge you both to keep talking and hash something out. Or, I was also a bit annoyed by your last email, the tone just seemed inappropriate/in-gracious for the situation. As far as patches go, you keep asking for reviews, but where are the reviews from Mellanox? I count 45 @mellanox folks who contributed to the kernel, but I wouldn't have guessed that based on mailing list participation. I see patches from Yann, Michael, Ira, and Yuval at least on the list that have seen general silence from your corner. That's just this last month or so. Look - the only way a subsystem can function properly is if all parties who want to continuously change the shared subystem core realise they have to contribute back review-hours and discussion leadership *AT LEAST* equal to what they receive.
