Hi Randy
Thanks for the response.
At this stage I'm hoping for some high level feedback about code layout etc. and don't expect an immediate approval. I expect to do some further code cleansing before getting a green light.
We're talking around 15k lines of code. Is a huge patch set the right way? I thought it would be more polite to invite people to look at git, rather than filling everyone's inboxes.
If you do think I should send a patch set then should I send it to lkml or fsdevel?
Thanks
Charles
