There is documentation on how submissions should look like. Other than that, these are case-by-case decisions based on a number of factors.

If you don't want to start with an actual submission, you could begin with discussing the specific features you have in mind directly with the developers and maintainers of the existing cluster FSs. Then it should become clearer how to proceed most effectively. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== -==- ---=- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
