The only issue I have is that because you didn't put "[GIT PULL]" in the subject line, the pr-tracker-bot doesn't pick up on it, so you're not getting a "this has been merged" confirmation email. My own search criteria for pull requests aren't as strict, so I saw it in my pending queue. But then I spent time wondering why I didn't see the pr-tracker-bot response when I pushed out, so I actually prefer for people to use the stricter rules that the pr-tracker-bot looks at... Linus

Got it, consider this a resolved matter for the future. Thanks for the feedback. Luis
Linus, So far only one fix has trickled through for modules. It is part of this pull request. It's a minor build fix for when CONFIG_SYSFS=n. Let me know if there are any issues with this. And just small heads up for v5.18 I'm actually not seeing anything quite ready so you may not see any pull request for me then except for fixes. There is quite a bit of development work for modules though, but nothing is quite ready, and I want to get **tons** of testing done for that. But do expect substantial changes for v5.19 though. There is work which you might see for a v5.19 from Aaron, Christophe, Vimal and Michal, in that order. I'm Cc'ing them just as a heads up to them as well in so far as my expectations and test requirements. During v5.18 I expect modules-next to carry all the pending changes and test the hell out of them on linux-next though. The following changes since commit 3593030761630e09200072a4bd06468892c27be3: tty: n_tty: do not look ahead for EOL character past the end of the buffer (2022-02-16 10:13:23 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux.git/ tags/modules-5.17-rc5 for you to fetch changes up to a8e8f851e8299703a005cf23dfb9ec854a2611e5: module: fix building with sysfs disabled (2022-02-16 12:51:32 -0800) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Fixes module decompression when CONFIG_SYSFS=n The only fix trickled down for v5.17-rc cycle so far is the fix for module decompression when CONFIG_SYSFS=n.
