[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add missing virtio/vdpa/vduse/vhost headers
From: Eugenio Pérez
Date: Thu Oct 15 2026 - 05:47:30 EST
Several headers related to virtio, vDPA, VDUSE and vhost were not
covered by any specific MAINTAINERS entry and fell through to the
catch-all THE REST section:
- include/linux/device-id/virtio.h: not matched by the existing
"include/linux/virtio*.h" glob, which only matches files directly
under include/linux/ and does not recurse into subdirectories.
- include/uapi/linux/vdpa.h: the in-kernel include/linux/vdpa.h was
listed under VIRTIO CORE but its UAPI companion was missing; the
"include/uapi/linux/virtio_*.h" pattern does not match it because
the filename lacks the "virtio_" prefix.
- include/uapi/linux/vduse.h: there is no dedicated VDUSE section in
MAINTAINERS; the driver lives under drivers/vdpa/ which is already
covered by VIRTIO CORE, so the UAPI header belongs there too.
- include/uapi/linux/vhost_types.h: the VIRTIO HOST (VHOST) section
explicitly lists include/uapi/linux/vhost.h but omits its companion
types header.
