Thanks for the heads up.  My merge resolution was backwards from yours
(because I merged the ext4 tree into vfs tree while you apparently did
the reverse), and this resolution was complex enough that I'm waiting
for you to publish next-20160517 to make sure you came up with the
same final result of fs/ext4/inode.c (minus the f2fs's ext4 crypto
merge, which I think Jaeguk is going to be dropping from his tree, but
I don't know if that will have happened by next-20160517).

I'm kicking off a set of tests to make sure there aren't problems with
the resulting merge going beyond the purely syntactic merge
resolution.

Cheers,
