Hi all,
Stefano,
And next time when you send out the patch, please be more respect to my work.
You dropped all the original author(me) of patchset, and only add a sign-off
for me. If you don't aware the difference, here is a snippet of
linux/Documentation/SummittingPatches
I am truly sorry and apologise for it, I would never want to give you
the impression of being disrespectful of you and your work.
If you pay attention I manually wrote in the comments of all the past
versions of the patches that you were the original author, this time I
just forgot.
I guess it is really the time I start using git-send-email :)
Your work has been really important for my series and you deserve the
credit for it independently from which patch series gets applied.
Best practise for this kind of thing is to use Sheng's patch verbatim,
then apply a separate delta on top to make the changes you want. That way:
* credit can be property attributed
* it helps with maintaining two parallel-but-converging git
branches, because all the common stuff is genuinely common, and
the variations can work from there, and
* if Sheng updates his patches (review, bugfix, etc), then we can
easily see how those changes affect your changes.
For example, I just rebased your previous patch posting so that it is
rooted on Sheng's two base patches, as they're completely common.
The latest of both patches is in xen/pvhvm-sheng and -stefano.
