I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just getting pissed when people are insisting that I do "quick reviews" for this patchset, which has been happening by different people since the very beginning of this whole feature, so I am trying to explain where others should be pointing their frustration at instead of me if they really want to do such a thing (hint, they shouldn't, but I wasn't explicit about that, sorry). Combine this with the long delays between my reviews and a new patchset submission, and on my end it's an extremely frustrating situation, which frankly, makes me want to review this thing even less and less as I know it's not going to be a fun or easy time when I do so. Everyone needs to remember that there are no deadlines here, and the people involved all have other things to work on at the same time, and that there are a lot of different subsystems and moving parts all involved. So someone is going to get grumpy about it, and right now, it seems to be me. I know I need to review this, and complaining that I haven't done so within 3 days of sending an updated patch set is not helping anyone. I'm going to try to carve out some time this week to review this properly. Hopefully there's no other major security "scares" popping up like there was the past few weeks to divert me from this... thanks, greg k-h
