Hi Kernel hackers,

I have a proposal for an improvement of the CMA allocator (just about 5 
lines of code to make it more robust). I would like to send it to
the linux-mm mailing list (linux-mm at kvack.org according to MAINTAINERS),
but it seems to be inactive. What is the best way to reach the
maintainer of mm/cma.c ?

Thanks a lot,

- Johannes

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the quick reply. If that is ok I will post the patch to
kernel newbies first once it is ready.

That list is not inactive. You may have encountered a list
archive that is no longer receiving updates, but the mailing
list itself is active.

However, it is so active that CCing the maintainers is still
a good idea :)
