I used a wrong git-describe rune to try to find out where it had been introduced. The answer in fact is that it was in 4.12.0-rc1. Thanks for pointing this out. Thanks also for the 2nd pair of eyes on [PATCH v2 3/3] libxl: make default path to add/remove all PV devices > This patch should have provided at least a > #define ...LINUX ...PV > in libxl.h for backward compatibility purpose. Under the circumstances, given that I suggested the rename during the 4.13 freeze, and the (IMO wrong) name was shipped in 4.12, it seems that we should drop this patch for 4.13. This is something that perhaps we should think about for the future but if it's been released already the cost of messing about with the name is sharply larger, and it may not be worth it at all. Sorry for messing you about more, Oleksandr. The other two patches 1/ and 3/ apply and work just fine without this middle one, so I don't think we need a resend. I'm still hoping for a 2nd pair of eyes on [PATCH v2 1/3] libxl: introduce new backend type VINPUT and a release ack for both 1/3 and 3/3.
