So normally Linus isn't psyched about pulling branches that were rebased at the last minute. I guess we could ask him ahead of time if he's OK with this plan. Or have you done that already? Alternatively you could rebase this on top of v5.3-rc2, after the merge window closes, and get agreement from the 4 file systems which are currently iomap users: ext2, ext4, gfs2, and xfs to start their development trees on top of that common branch for the 5.4 merge window. After all, it's just moving code around and there are no substantive changes in this patch series, right? So there's no rush as I understand things for this to hit mainline. Cheers, - Ted
