Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] debugfs.c: do sparse copy when src is a sparse file

Ted, Darrick,

Any more thoughts on this series from Robert?

We'd like to pull this in to the Yocto Project, but are trying hard not
to include patches that are not at least acked by the upstream
maintainers.

I believe Robert as addressed the concerns raised?

Thanks!

Darren
