(adding Al Viro and Andrew Morton to cc:)

Hi Jan.

I think Ryan's patches are fine as well.

>From my perspective as a contributor, you should ack the
patches you apply to your own tree with your own
"Signed-off-by:" tag and later send a pull request to
Linus or another upstream maintainer like Al Viro or you
should ack the patches and forward them to another upstream
maintainer to be applied in their tree with your "Acked-by:"
tag.

cheers, Joe
