Looks good to me on principle as well (and it should blow up immediately
on testing in the unlikely case there's a problem...)

Eric, I don't think you have anything planned for this round?
There's another data race patch laying around that we didn't submit for
6.6, shall I take these two for now?

(Assuming this patch series is meant to be taken up by individual fs
maintainers independantly, it's never really clear with such large
swatches of patchs and we weren't in Cc of a cover letter if there was
any... In the future it'd help if either there's a clear cover letter
everyone is in Cc at (some would say keep everyone in cc of all
patches!), or just send these in a loop so they don't appear to be part
of a series and each maintainer deals with it as they see fit)
