Hi James, Are you planning to push the next version (-V2) of vCPU Hotplug kernel changes to the community? Is it possible to figure out any blockers on your end which are restricting you to move ahead. I think kernel can move even when Qemu patches have not been pushed to community and are only shared as repository. Though I shall been posting them soon.
It would be better if we can get kernel patches in discussion and then hope for their acceptance as soon as possible. This is very important for acceptance of Qemu patches and to be frank for anybody to take Qemu patches seriously even for discussion.
Many thanks Salil.

I'll look at this after I've rebased and reposted the MPAM series.
Thanks,

Just follow this conversation:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/935e68ed-2ada-03ac-c6e0-40b7972515c1@loongson.cn...
Loongson folks have completely copied the Qemu code from my private branch and also posted that code for review.
Now, they are pushing us to get our Qemu patches accepted otherwise they will go ahead. This will create unnecessary tussle with other companies.
Qemu patches will not be accepted till the time kernel patches are accepted by the kernel community. Do we really need to wait to get that community discussion started?
Thanks Salil.
