Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] lib/ts_fsm: preserve patterns across tc dump and restore

Hi Andrew and all,

A gentle ping on this series, sent on November 1:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261101081736.51803-1-zhiqizhangg@xxxxxxxxx/

v2 describes the tc dump/restore impact, adds the exported-pattern
equality assertion, and splits the fix from the KUnit tests, with
Cc: stable on the fix.

Could you please advise whether this series should go through Andrew's
tree, or whether another tree should handle it?

The netdev CI also flagged the new lib/tests/textsearch_fsm_kunit.c file
as lacking specific MAINTAINERS coverage. How should that file be
covered, in light of the dedicated textsearch entry discussed in the
v1 review? I would appreciate guidance on the intended maintainer and
coverage before preparing an update.

Please let me know if any further changes are needed.

Thanks,
Zhiqi
