Re: [PATCH V2 0/9] rtla improvements

[Steven Rostedt]

Hi Daniel,

Could you make sure to Cc linux-trace-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and not
linux-trace-devel. The former is for any patch that goes into the
kernel repo, the later is for the tracing libraries (like libtracefs).
The reason why this matters is that the patchwork that is associated to
the Linux kernel tree will not get these (and I will not work on them
when I'm working on kernel patches). But it will go into the 
patchwork for the libraries (and never be processed by the patchwork
infrastructure), and I will likely not work on them, because when I
look at the library patchwork, I ignore anything that goes into the
kernel.

Perhaps resend with the proper Cc and it will then be processed. I
allowed this to happen before, but that's because I did everything
manually and not with my scripts. And I'm tired of doing that.

Thanks,

-- Steve
