Dear Gerlando,

It appears we are stuch with this patch set. Last thing I remember was that Marek reviewed thes epatches, and had a few comments / requests for changes. But I cannot remember having seen any more eplies from you.
As far as I can remember (or rather, as far as I can understand reading the whole thread once again), I had managed to persuade Marek to "accept" the first 5 patches out of 6 (I guess more by means of confusion than real arguments :-) )
Heh. Nobody asks for the actual reasons for a decision, later...
So please step forward if there's any suggestion.
I don't have the time now for a real review, and I fear a bit we might break somthing. I would suggest to proceed similar as with the ext4 file system code: add your patches to a separate branch, so it can be tested easily, and if everybody feels confident with it we can merge it around the time when we will have a -rc1
or should they be dropped altogether?
If anyone's counting hands, I'm voting against this latest action... :-)
I do count :-)
Just so I know, are we talking about the merge window closing on August 11th anyway?
Yes, but this is actually irrelevant here, as your patches are way older; they should go in now, unless there is good reason to reject them.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
