And I'm now looking at pulling the stuff you sent yesterday, and I'm close to just saying "screw this". Again. This is now the *second* time that two different teams inside Mellanox decided to play games with the kernel maintainers, and I'm not at all sure the end result is not worth my time to sort out. Doug, you need to stop taking patches from the Mellanox people until the get their shit together. Really. I'll spend some time looking at this mess, but next time I see two Mellanox groups fighting inside their own driver, I will just not pull. It's that simple. If you take shit from them, I'll not take the end result. I don't know what problem the Mellanox people have, but one group sends their changes through the networking tree, and another group sends it through you. They do similar things, but different enough to not be the same. You tell them to stop sending that stuff to you, because I'm getting it through Davem. And I'm not interested in cleaning up after their mess. Adding David and Mellanox people to the cc. This kind of idiocy where one company has two different groups, and they are fighting over the same driver, and then expecting upstream to sort out their mental problems for them is not acceptable. It's not the job of either me or the subsystem maintainers to sort out your differences for you.
