Christoph Hellwig Steps Down From One Of His Kernel Roles Following Rust Drama

([Linux Kernel] 5 Hours Ago DMA Mapping Helpers)


Following [1]the recent Rust drama within the Linux kernel that came out in part because Christoph Hellwig expressed objections to Rust bindings for the DMA mapping helpers that he is a maintainer of, Hellwig has now stepped down as one of the DMA mapping helper maintainers.

[2]Merged to the Linux 6.14 Git kernel is updating the DMA mapping maintainers entry. Christoph Hellwig has removed himself as a DMA mapping maintainer with explanation of:

"Marek has graciously offered to maintain the dma-mapping tree."

Marek Szyprowski will now seemingly maintain the DMA mapping helpers on his own. The patch removing Hellwig as a maintainer was signed off by him and Linus Torvalds.

Hellwig will continue to be (co)maintainer for the NVMe driver, NVMe target driver, personality handling, and the FreeVXFS file-system areas of the kernel.
