​OK, ​that makes sense.

​Now, this is something where I may need a bit help/confirmation, I guess.​
What I suppose I should do is:

1) Clone linux-xfs (git://
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs.git)
2) Edit linux-xfs/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_fs.h and add the same change there
3) Send it to this mailing list as usual, with "[PATCH] xfs: ..."

(The same goes for the other patch with the kernel need too.)

Is it all right? Correct repository URL? :-)

Thanks,
Jan
