Hi, I just wanted to give everyone (especially Linus) a heads-up on this. I've been collecting patches for the GFS2 file system's for-next branch. The biggest change this time revolves around allowing GFS2 to use rhashtable for its glocks, providing far greater scalability. Since the patch was posted to cluster-devel, various people (especially Andreas G) posted a few small correction and cleanup patches. Rather than giving Linus a big pile of messy patches, I opted to combine them into one proper patch (doing things "the right way") plus the other five patches I had already queued. Unfortunately, this was all done just as Stephen Rothwell sent out his email not to push any more patches to linux-next, which left me in limbo. I asked Stephen his advice, and based on that, we decided to: 1. Push the "proper" patch set to for-next today. 2. Give linux-next two days to settle with the six new patches. 3. Then send the formal request to pull the patches for the merge window. I just wanted to let everyone know why our patch pull request is delayed. BTW, this six-patch set has already been posted to cluster-devel for review and been signed off last Wednesday. All of them are pretty much confined to GFS2 (except for new calls to rhashtable functions) so hopefully this is just a formality. Sorry for the delay.
