There has been some misunderstanding on what an RFC patch is and
what
standards it needs to meet. Following is the official response of David
Miller.
Thank you for this forwarded message.
Based on those guidelines the RFC patch we submitted meets and
exceeds the
requirements. So please review it.
I don't have the same experiences as some other here but I will try to give
interesting comments if I have some.
Was the version you sent last month with 9 patches the last one?
Replacement of function pointers will be addressed later as a
separate
issue.
I agree about that.
In case there are other procedural issues that would prohibit
technical
discussion please site the written rules or first ask David Miller.
There are a lot of technical issues to discuss, so if possible lets not
get tied up on process and bureaucracy. Looking forward to detailed
technical comments.
Good idea.

It is better to introduce them at the same time.
But if it is prohibitively difficult to do so, yet at the same
time properly split up your changes into manageable pieces, it
can be OK.
It is definitely determined on a case by case basis.
So ok to keep them to clearly indicate where MPTCP specific code will be?
