It's also in entirely new files and not a modification of existing code, and it's always been clear how it is. Some of the code has been in since Linux 4.5 with a properly clear copyright. I really don't understand Doug's objection, and as said if they have a weird problem with it we can simply move it to a separate module. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
