Re: [PATCH v6 0/6] iommufd: Add nesting infrastructure (part 2/2)

[Joel Granados]

Hey Yi

I have been working with https://github.com/yiliu1765/qemu/tree/zhenzhong/wip/iommufd_nesting_rfcv1
and have some questions regarding one of the commits in that series.
I however cannot find it in lore.kernel.org. Can you please direct me to
where the rfc was posted? If it has not been posted yet, do you have an
alternate place for discussion?

Best
