binfmt_flat tends to go through Greg's uclinux tree, adding him and

FWIW, my involvement with binfmt_flat had been pretty much nil -
the least trivial had been "binfmt_flat: flat_{get,put}_addr_from_rp()
should be able to fail" about 4 years ago and that fell out of hunting
for places where __get_user() had been used without checking error values.

It's in fs/*, but I've no way to test it and I have pretty much
zero familiarity with the guts of that one, so I can't give any useful
feedback on that series. So consider the Christoph's comment seconded -
you want it reviewed by gerg et.al., and it probably ought to go via
gerg/uclinux.git tree.

I'm reasonably familiar with binfmt_{elf,misc,script}; anything
else gets touched as part of larger series and only with sanity checks
from other folks, if the changes are not entirely trivial.

Al,

Thanks for the clarification. Would it make sense to have an entry in
MAINTAINERS file pointing to Greg and the uclinux tree for binfmt_flat.c ?
Greg ?

Yep, looks like it does need that.

Greg
