Many thanks all for the review... So I guess it sounds fine?



Hi Christian,

If they also look good to you, since it's a VFS change,
if possible, could you apply these two patches through
the VFS tree for this cycle?  There is a redundant blank
line removal in the first patch, I guess you could help
adjust or I need to submit another version?

I also have another related fix in erofs tree to address
a syzbot issue
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240917130803.32418-1-hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com

but it shouldn't cause any conflict with the second
patch though..

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
