Subject: SLIP: Is there a maintainer for drivers/net/slip/slip.c ?

Hi,

Using the Linux v3.9 tag, I note that

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/slip/slip.c
netdev@...r.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

There seems to be no maintainer for drivers/net/slip/slip.c, is that true ?

I am asking because sl_encaps() and slip_write_wakeup() do not handle 
error codes from tty->ops->write() and a recursive stack overflow crash 
can occur if the tty->ops->write() fails to write all the characters. I 
have some patches to fix this but would like some feedback on an 
appropriate solution.

Thanks,

Dean Jenkins
