Subject[GIT PULL] configfs-based GPIO simulator for v5.16
Date
Linus,

A while ago I sent you a pull-request for the GPIO subsystem which, in addition
to regular GPIO updates, contained a new GPIO simulator module based on
configfs that we want to use to test the uAPI and its main user-space user -
libgpiod. The PR included changes to configfs itself in the form of an
implementation of the concept of committable items. The changes had been in
development for several months and the maintainers had been largely
unresponsive which made me send it directly to you eventually after gathering
some reviews on the linux-gpio mailing list. You then Cc'ed Al who raised some
concerns and the patches were pulled out.

A couple months have passed with a few more iterations and I still can't get
any meaningful reviews from the configfs maintainers (nor NAKs for that
matter). I decided to give it another try and send it to you directly again.

Since last time I've addressed issues raised by Al (to the best of my ability
anyway) and made sure all references are counted correctly (including error
paths) and all resources freed. This code has been tested a lot with
a development version of libgpiod. The branch I've tagged spent some time in
next too with a single issue reported and fixed.

Please consider pulling.

Best Regards,
Bartosz Golaszewski
