Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 0/7] Adds support for ConfigFS to VKMS!

Sima--thanks SO MUCH for going through with everything leaving a
detailed review. I am excited to go through your feedback.

It makes me extremely happy to see these patches get people excited.

They've bounced between a few people, and I recently asked to take
them over again from the folks who were most recently looking at them
but haven't since had capacity to revisit them. I'd love to contribute
more but I am currently pretty swamped and I probably couldn't
realistically make too much headway before the middle of June.

José--if you've got capacity and interest, I'd love to see this work
get in! Thanks!! Please let me know your timeline and if you want to
split anything up or have any questions, I'd love to help if possible.
But most important to me is seeing the community benefit from the
feature.

And (in case it got lost in the shuffle of all these patches) the IGT
tests really make it much easier to develop this thing. Marius has
posted the most recent patches:

Thanks!
-- Jim
