I am guilty of all DONTs.[/bookmark]

[bookmark=https://twitter.com/gregkh/status/1306877058937749507]@dvyukov You don't approach it from a "we must get a mandate from above" method, that's not how successful open source projects work. To try to do that, would only result in resistance and avoidance as no one likes to be told what to do.[/bookmark]

The 2nd series to rework the # subsystem hit #-next and thus hopefully gets merged for # 5.10.

It's afaik the last big rework needed to finally enable PREEMPT_RT in mainline. For details see:

"Upstream priorities:
Correctness
Performance
Maintainability.

Maintainable code has less bugs over time, and therefore leads to correctness, and so maintainability is important."
