Subject[RFC 0/8] Move locking primitives into kernel/locking/
Hi all,

During Kernel Summit Dave mentioned that there wasn't a clear maintainer for
locking bits.

To remedy this Ingo suggested gathering all the various locking primitives and
lockdep into a single place: kernel/locking/.

I would further like to propose a MAINTAINERS entry like:

LOCKING
M: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
M: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
M: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
M: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
M: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking/core
S: Maintained
F: kernel/locking/

Because for most 'fun' locking discussions we usually end up with at least
those people anyway :-)

Comments?
