On the user-space side, it's one of the reasons I'm versioning the schema in v2. This way, projects like systemd can ship their own kernel policy file, and that policy will be guaranteed to work with all future versions of this tool. So it's all mainline-first; both kernel upstream and userspace downstream. > Please prepare a new MAINTAINERS entry in a respin. Sure. Beside a separate entry for the checker itself, I'll also add: F: tools/kconfig-audit/policies/preempt_rt.yml to the 'Real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT)' entry. > Are you planning to maintain it after inclusion? Yes, I'll be happy to maintain it. Would it be OK if one or two people from the Kconfig side also step-up as reviewrs? Julian? Nicolas? Nathan? Thanks, -- Ahmed S. Darwish Linutronix GmbH
