The Signed-off-by: line is still missing, and you normally shouldn't
quote the previous mail you reply to for patches.  Sorry for beeing

You can also add:

Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Tested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

as I've run this through xfsqa (strictly speaking it's still running,
