Paul,
this patch was well hidden in some huge RCU pile
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200623002147.25750-11-paulmck@kernel.org/)
I wonder why you haven't CCed linux-btrfs, I spotted the patch queued
for stable by incidentally. The timestamp is from June, that's quite
some time ago. We can deal with one more patch and I tend to reply with
acks quickly for easy patches like this to not block other peoples work
but I'm a bit disappointed by sidestepping maintained subsystems. It's
not just this patch, it happens from time time only to increase the
disapointement.
