I don't think it will > scale to take all that code through the live update tree. All Live-Update-specific changes should go through the liveupdate tree. The liveupdate tree is the only Linux tree that will cover full Live Update regression testing, and it contains reviewers and maintainers who know the details of the Live Update process, its lifecycle, and its requirements. The request we are hearing from other subsystem maintainers is that they want to make sure Live Update is isolated enough not to make their lives harder. This means reducing the number of conflicts, the maintenance burden, and testing responsibilities. Therefore, the "PCI LIVE UPDATE" entry should specify you as a maintainer, "kexec@lists.infradead.org" as the list to which all LU changes should be CC'd, and "liveupdate/linux.git" as the git tree against which changes should be applied. It should also include "linux-pci@vger.kernel.org" so the PCI maintainers are CC'd. In case there are larger changes that touch core PCI and liveupdate.c/abi, we can ACK them, ensuring we are aware of incoming conflicts during the current or next merge cycle. It should also specify the members of LU group so we can stage the changes. This is the way we agreed to handle kexec changes: Baoquan He is the maintainer, and without his Reviewed-by tag, we won't take changes to kexec. This is the approach we follow with MM for KHO changes to memblock and memfd preservation, as well as the upcoming hugetlb/guestmemfd preservation. This is also the approach we should continue using when adding LUO support to other components like PCI, VFIO, IOMMU, and KVM. It keeps life easier for the core component maintainers and ensures we do not regress LU by staging everything in the same tree and sending LU merge requests from a single tree. Pasha
