Subject: Re: linux-next: manual merge of the f2fs tree with the ext4 tree

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the notice.
I've been waiting for a comment about the below patch targeted to v4.7 from Ted.
Meanwhile, I intended to prepare -next for that patch in advance.
Surely, once I get a sense that I need to consider v4.8, I'll drop this patch
for -next right away.

Thanks,
