Hi,
Using the Linux v3.9 tag, I note that
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/net/slip/slip.c
netdev@vger.kernel.org (open list:NETWORKING DRIVERS)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
There seems to be no maintainer for drivers/net/slip/slip.c, is that true ?
I am asking because sl_encaps() and slip_write_wakeup() do not handle
error codes from tty->ops->write() and a recursive stack overflow crash
can occur if the tty->ops->write() fails to write all the characters. I
have some patches to fix this but would like some feedback on an
appropriate solution.
Thanks,
Dean Jenkins

netdev seems to be the most appropriate mailing list, cfr. what
get_maintainer.pl reported, hence CC netdev added.

SLIP changes would likely go through David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>.
TTY changes would go through Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

I have already sent an E-mail to David Miller and the netdev mailing
list but so far got not reply from David.
So I guess I have sent my patches to the correct place ;)
