It's nice, yes, but note that you sent this to me directly, didn't cc: the proper stable mailing list so that others who maintain other stable trees also didn't get the notice, and again, there's really nothing that the stable maintainers can do about this at the moment. But, if this does go to Linus's tree, then stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx would be very interested in knowing about it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
