Ok, this is a bit of a mess. the patches do not merge cleanly to a 4.19-rc1 base kernel because of all the changes to include/linux/fs.h that have hit the tree after this. There's also failures against Documentation/filesystems/fs.h IOWs, it's not going to get merged through the main XFS tree because I don't have the patience to resolve all the patch application failures, then when it comes to merge make sure all the merge failures end up being resolved correctly. So if I take it through the XFS tree, it will being a standalone branch based on 4.19-rc8 and won't hit linux-next until after the first XFS merge when I can rebase the for-next branch...
