thanks for taking care of this. Sorry for the late response, I have been away for a whole week with no email access.
I understand you are providing generic changes and it would be up to us to update individual drivers so to take advantage of those semplifications. Please forgive me if I got this all wrong though.
I've got a few questions then:
1) What happened to your initial proposal of renaming gc->mask_cache to gc->shared_mask_cache? Does that mean you intend to keep compatibility so individual drivers can be updated one at a time?
2) What shall we do with such potential patches for individual drivers, given the dependencies on your work? Wait until yours get merged?
3) [a bit OT] anyone got a clue why I cannot see my previous patch series on patchwork.kernel.org? Neither can I find from within http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel. I looked up '[PATCH v3b 0/9] refactoring for mask_cache' and could not find it, only some replies to the thread were shown. Patches/messages from the same thread are correctly shown on news.gmane.org under gmane.linux.kernel, though threading is broken on my reader; they will not be found through the web interface for gmane.linux.kernel though. I noticed this was a cross post to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org and stable@vger.kernel.org (which I guess is something that should not be done under any circumstances). And all the above works just fine for -stable as opposed to LKML. Could this cross-posting be the root cause for this whole mess?
Thanks! Gerlando
