Subject: [TULIP] Need new maintainer
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:04:13 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070730190412.GA16182@rainbow> (raw)
The Tulip network driver needs a new maintainer! I no longer have
time to maintain the Tulip network driver and I'm stepping down. Jeff
Garzik would be happy to get volunteers.
The only current major outstanding patch I know of is Grant's shutdown
race patch, which was incorrectly dropped as obsoleted from -mm (my
fault, I was moving at the time):
http://www.mail-archive.com/mm-commits@vger.kernel.org/msg12161.html
I have a very much non-working patch to do it with the preferred
order, ask me for it and I'll see if I can dig it up. It's unpleasant
partly because it pointed out a lot of latent bugs (e.g.,
del_timer_sync() in interrupt context).
Also, someone is working on support for an emulated Tulip card (yes,
Tulip will _never_ die), so expect possible patches for that.
