Well, technically it ends Sunday, since I don't tend to distinguish weekdays from weekends much, but I tend to frown on last-minute submissions and I may just decide that I'm done on Saturday. Yours isn't a last-minute submission, but I suspect that by now the sane thing to do is to just say "4.4 material". It sounds like you clearly aren't twiddling your thumbs, and can usefully continue development for at least next week with just on the iovec stuff, and I don't think this is a "must hit 4.3" thing, so there's no huge reason to not let it slide until the next merge window. And if you have a grudging ack by then from Al, I'll have no issues merging it early next merge window ;) Linus
