Was a Coccinelle script used for any of these conversions? I wonder if it'd be easier to do a single treewide patch for the more mechanical changes. And, actually, I still think the "prepare" patches should just be collapsed into the actual "covert" patches -- there are only a few. After those, yeah, I think getting these sent to their respective maintainers is the next step. > Also, I was thinking if removing tasklets completely could be a task > on KSPP wiki.

Here's for the refactoring: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/30 and here's for the removal: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/94 if you can added details/examples of how they should be removed, that'd help other folks too, if they wanted to jump in. :) -Kees -- Kees Cook
