Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] altp2m: Allow the hostp2m entries to be of type p2m_ram_shared
Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 14:36:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <22414.11463.28695.643847@mariner.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

Tamas: George brought this thread to my attention.  I'm sorry that you
feel blocked and/or overruled.  The hypervisor MM code is not my area
of expertise, but I have a keen interest in seeing a good, productive
and friendly Xen community.  I definitely don't want to see you pushed
away, and driven to maintain an out-of-tree patchset.

Reading through your mails there seem to still have unresolved
detailed technical disagreements between you and George about the
existing behaviours in Xen, and the effects of your proposed changes.

Right now I would like to ask both you and George to sort out those
factual disagreements.  I expect that you can do so.  I hope that then
the way forward will be clear: ie that you and George willbe in
agreement about the direction in which the code should be going.

I think that would be better than getting into a more abstract
conversation about which use cases exist or are important, or an
argument about areas of responsibility or authority.

If either of you feel that you aren't able to agree on the facts, or
that that conversation is not proceeding constructively, I'm be happy
to try to help.  You can contact me by email in public or private, or
find me as Diziet on irc.

(In a complex codebase like Xen there will always be overlap or
interference between different maintainers' bailiwicks, so we
definitely do need to be able to come to some kind of agreement,
rather than everyone insisting on their own authority in what they
regard as their own area.)

Regards,
Ian.
