Right now this series is in a stable branch in the XFS tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs.git xfs-dio-fix-4.6

If you want to push it through some other tree, please let me know
when/where it is committed so I can rebuild the XFS for-next branch
appropriately from a stable commit/branch...

That's how I think it should be handled.  This would also allow the
ext4 and ocfs2 maintainers to depend on the stable branch to clean
up their direct I/O completion handling in this merge window if they
want to.

I can't tell if you are saying what I've done is fine if the
xfs-dio-fix-4.6 branch is stable (so others can pull it) or whether
it should be in some other tree. Can you clarify, Christoph?

Cheers,

Dave.
