What is the connection to media? You also seem to have picked up the
Lustre maintainers, who are not relevant.

Hi Arushi,
thanks for taking time to contribute to the kernel. There are a few problems with
this patch.
Firstly, I'm not sure why you sent this patch to lustre-devel, Oleg, James, and me,
since it has nothing to do with Lustre. Conversely, the actual maintainer(s) of this
code would normally be better suited to review the patch. This isn't totally clear
in this case since get_maintainer.pl lists another person submitting minor cleanups,
but "git log" does return some more likely candidates:
- David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> (original author)
- Luuk Paulussen <luuk.paulussen@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (recent non-trivial patcher)
- Kyeong Yoo <kyeong.yoo@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (recent non-trivial reviewer)
- Richard Laing <richard.laing@alliedtelesis.co.nz> " "
- Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz>
- Tim Beale <tim.beale@alliedtelesis.co.nz>
- Hamish Martin <hamish.martin@alliedtelesis.co.nz>
Secondly, as mentioned with the other patch you submitted, you need to stop and look
at whether your changes actually make sense. In this case, I don't think they do
make sense, and this patch should probably just be abandoned.

In this case, it is checking if the fragment offset in bytes is 16384, rather than doing
a bit comparison, so I don't think the use of BIT() is appropriate here.

Same.
