For this patch, yes.  And we'll need a commit description which
explains why it's needed.  Since I wrote the patch, I'm happy to
supply the commit description.  We can include it as a separate patch
in your patch series, and I'll cc linux-fsdevel.

As Jan mentioned, the only other user of it is Dave Chinner for the
XFS code, and I had alreday checked to make sure that it shouldn't
affect him --- but it would be good to cc him so he's in the loop.

Speaking of commit descriptions, I had made some other minor
adjustments to some of the commits in your last version of the patch
series, since I had already been assuming that I could take them until
I saw the potential problems with the memory shrinker patch.  So you
can just provide a new version of the memory shrinker patch --- or if
you have other changes you want to make to the earlier patches in that
patch series, let me know and I can extract out the various comments
and whitespace fixes that from the patches I have in my private tree,
so we can merge them with any additional updates to your patches.

Cheers, and thanks for working on this!
