I am still waiting for further constructive feedback on a bunch
of my update suggestions which are derived from static source code analysis.

It can be the usual challenge to get a bit more attention for them.
Other software improvements will result in bigger effects than the source code
fine-tuning I propose, won't it?

I would like to acknowledge that changes like the following from this patch series
can still be applied together for the software "Linux next-20151126".
* 0001-staging-lustre-Delete-unnecessary-checks-before-two.patch
* 0003-staging-lustre-Less-function-calls-in-class_register.patch

* Dan Carpenter expressed his software design concerns around hidden sanity checks
a few times.
How do you think about to give the proposed changes another chance?

* Positive feedback is occasionally increasing by specific subsystem supporters
and maintainers.
How will our collaboration evolve further?


Do you want that I resend any mails/patches from my "waiting queue"?

Regards,
Markus
