[PATCH slab] MAINTAINERS: add slab-related scripts and tools to SLAB ALLOCATOR
Posted by Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) 2 weeks ago
Make sure the maintainers and reviewers are CC'd on changes to the
scripts and tools that depend on slab internals.

I found there is rust/helpers/slab.c file and it is not in this section.  Is it
intentional?  I found commits for the file doesn't have Vlastimil's R-b or A-b
tags, so it might be intentional for rust code, but I'm just curious if that's
correct.


Thanks,
SJ

Yeah, thanks. AFAIK these are just thin wrappers to overcome some bindgen
details? I think whatever the rust side finds necessary to do there, they
can and it's under RUST section, while the tools had no maintainer at all.
So we don't need to cross-maintain that.
