linux-next: trees being removed

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2551 bytes --]

Hi all,

The following trees are going to be removed from linux-next because they
have not been updated in more than a year.  If you want a tree kept,
please just reply and let me know (and update its branch).  If you want
a tree restored after it has been removed, just let me know (and update
its branch).

re: the exportfs tree: yes, that's fine with me. I asked for that to be
added to linux-next before we knew that exportfs patches would be going
through the VFS trees instead.

this is fine. The last patches to drivers/siox went in through Greg and
I'm not involved in siox development any more. (Otherwise I would have
opposed 53d2bf583c6b6326d751d0f0dceba76109dfb0f9 :-)

@uwe: thanks for cc'ing me and puttin this on my radar.

Dropping siox/for-next is fine for me as well.  I assume siox patches
will still be picked up by Greg.

Please, preserve it.  There is not much work going on in fs/unicode, but
occasionally there is a fix and it needs to be in linux-next before
reaching Linus.

No problem.  Easiest way to keep it is to update it to each new -rc1
that comes out (if nothing else has been added to it).  But I will take
it off the removal list for this round of removals anyway.

+Cc few DRM addresses,

Shall we make DRM accel subsystem orphaned in this case? This tree is
still mentioned in "DRM COMPUTE ACCELERATORS DRIVERS AND FRAMEWORK"
maintainers entry, but if no work is happening, no updates to Git repo,
then does that mean project is effectively dead now?

To be fair, the patches are still posted [1] but if nothing is picked up
to the repo then maybe new maintainers are needed? Or repo did move to
other place silently?

I dig a bit more and individual drivers are still picked up via
drm-misc, but I guess Oded has much less time now [1] and even recent
changes to drivers/accel/drm_accel.c went via other person. With tree
being dropped from the next, it should probably be removed from the
MAINTAINERS. I'll just send a patch, easier to comment there.

I've not been very active for the last few years and luckily it
coincided with less work in the percpu area. I've been sending small
patches through Andrew but I think I'd prefer to keep the tree as I hope
to do more active work in 2026.

I've just updated the for-next branch albiet just with 6.19-rc1.

Thanks,
Dennis

I have DMI updates to send to Linus again, so I have updated the DMI
tree above, and I would appreciate if you could include it in linux-
next again. Thanks for your work.

It looks like that's actually still in there one way or another so no
action to take here, I should probably go back and look at the list of
stale trees and flush out any others that remained.

This is supposed to be the development tree.  The only other one I have
is arc-current
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc.git#for-curr)
which is for bug fixes.  So do you really not do any development any more?

For quite some time I've been using just # for-curr for both fixes/features, as
dev as slowed down.
Things might change if and when work picks up on ARCv3/arc64 bit for now
for-curr suffices.

Could I get the (`zstd`, `https://github.com/terrelln/linux.git#zstd-next`) tree back please?

We just released zstd-1.5.7 upstream, and I'm working on updating the kernel to this
version. David Sterba alerted me to this [1].

Thanks & sorry for the churn,

No worries, it is back from today.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
you may know, this is not a judgement of your code.  The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window. 

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
been:
     * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
        Signed-off-by,
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and 
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch).  It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

Hi all,

The following trees are going to be removed from linux-next because they
have not been updated in more than a year.  If you want a tree kept (or
later restored), just let me know (and update its branch).

Could you please keep the mux tree for a while? I have been very busy
lately and not much is going on, but I would still like to be able to
get things into -next. I guess I could just ask to include it again
when I need it, but...

Cheers,
Peter

No worries, I will keep it in.  You might consider fast forwarding your
for-next branch to v6.10 or v6.11-rc1 (or something else recent), then
I won't forget this email and ask you again in a few months.  :-)

Could you please keep this branch included for a while? I expect active
contributions (although will just be handful of patches) here.

I will remember to keep this updated to latest rc when there isn't any
new things to queue for a window. Thanks!

fscrypt-current and fsverity-current are technically still in use.  I just
haven't used them recently because there haven't been any bug fixes that needed
to go in while other commits were already applied for the next merge window.

I've updated them to v6.9-rc1.

I'd guess that some of those *-fixes branches have something similar going on,
where they may be rarely used fixes branches as opposed to the main development
branch.

This is exactly my case. I don't mind my branch being dropped and I can
ask to add it back once I have urgent fixes.

Or you could just update it to -rc1 every merge window or so and it
will hang around.  I don't mind keeping branches around that will get
used sometime.  I just don't like them being too old.

I've done that now and I'll try to remember to update at each -rc1.

Same here. It turned out that the next branch is good enough for me.

We are active with Orangefs, both on the userspace

OK, restored.

If you just do a fast forward merge of v6.8-rc1^0, the I won't bother you
for another year :-)

This is still active, when it's needed.

As is this one.

I'll update them both now if it helps.

That will keep them off my radar for a year :-)

This is still where I would put updates to the DMI subsystem, but it
turns out there haven't been any for some time now, and I'm not aware
of any pending issue.

Out of curiosity, why do inactive branches bother you?

I can certainly update that branch if it makes your life easier.

I am happy to restore it if you want.

> Out of curiosity, why do inactive branches bother you?

It is mostly just a way to get rid of abandoned trees.  Also, one of
the checks I do requires me to reference all the commits between the
merge base of each tree and Linus' tree.  If the base (and top commit)
of a tree has not been updated for a year, that means checking 40,000+
commits which takes a noticeable amount of time.  Also just merging
such a tree has a noticeable delay.  An empty tree (relative to Linus'
tree) doesn't cost much, of course.

> I can certainly update that branch if it makes your life easier.

Yeah, even just resetting it to Linus' tree at each -rc1 will help.
