Hi Ming,

I wrote this against your devel-v3 branch.  I'm wondering if you plan to
send a new version of the kernel patch soon? From the latest

Yeah, that is on my todo list:

https://github.com/ming1/linux/commits/my_for-5.19-ubd-devel_v3

there has lots cleanup & improvement.

discussions, I don't think there were major issues found on review. :)

One problem is the driver name, and Christoph thought we have
'arch/um/drivers/ubd*.c'. Not thought of one good candidate yet.

Hi Ming,

Thanks for the info, and sorry for not noticing the fix merged on Jun, 3rd
on the master branch.  I will follow that branch when testing and submit
fixes I find along the way.

I guess you have considered a lot of names, but I'd suggest any of:

 * blkuser,
 * ublk
 * BUSE (as in Block FUSE, though there is another non-upstream
project with that name),
 * UBIO (as in UIO, but for Block IO)
 * B2U (Block IO Backed by userspace) :-P

TBH, my favorite is ublk.

Thank you,

Me too, will change to it in v3 if no one objects.

Thanks,
