Applied, compiled, module reloaded - looking good so far (half a day).

The patch is reasonably trivial and you changed most lines, but feel free to add my Signed-off-by: line to it:

Hi Nathan, not to rush you or anything, but I was just curious as to how a patch like this gets into the actual kernel.

I assume it's XFS CVS -> testing -> -mm kernel -> linus kernel ?
I don't see anything in XFS CVS at
http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/linux-2.6-xfs/fs/xfs/linux-2.6/
yet, am I looking in the right place ?

Thanks,

Mike.
