and now this one.

Can the two of you please co-ordinate your efforts and based your
filesysetm work off the same iomap infrastructure changes?

Sure Dave, make sense. But we are cc'ing each other in this effort
together so that we are aware of what is being worked upon.

Just cc'ing is not enough. I was going to send my v2 for XFS/iomap support today. I didn't announce that as I did not think that I had to. Admittedly it will be effectively an RFC, as the forcealign feature (now included) is not mature. But it's going to be a bit awkward to have 2x overlapping series' sent to the list.

FWIW, I think that it's better to send series based on top of other series, rather than cherry-picking necessary parts of other series (when posting)

Thanks,
John
