Miklos, first of all thanks a lot for feedback. I see about fuse.git#for-next. I was checking linux-fsdevel and saw one patch said to be applied ~ one week ago. That timeframe was bigger than a private queue for in-house testing that I was imagining, and that's why I asked. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CAJfpegsyuNtS7afL3Wqjx7m2ewPUUih9pznRmxtrsHYOKER2Gw@mail.gmail.com/ > > Could you please also have a look at other posted patches?

I see. I understand about context switching difficulty especially that it is similarly not easy on my side. However big latency on patches feedback creates uncertainty e.g. whether a patch will be considered at all or dropped? If it will be considered there are chances that it will have to be reworked, and if feedback is e.g. once per cycle (~2.5 months) the reworked patch will have to wait for another cycle which gets it close to half a year. And with those latencies it starts to be close to kill the motivation to do the work at all. (a record example - I once got first reply after 5 _years_ since posting a patch) We all have limited resources and I'm not talking about getting feedback (though that would be appreciated) in the days timeframe. Getting feedback in one or two weeks should be reasonably though. With more delay, at least for me, it starts to be on the edge and the patch considered to be lost. It is very appreciated if you could indeed try to provide feedback more frequently. I apologize if maybe my email touched some pain points. I asked because it was not clear what to do with the patches and my filesystem becomes completely useless without e.g. precise-cache fix. I was just trying to find what should be the way for my fuse changes into the kernel. Thanks a lot, once again, for your feedback. Kirill
