Sorry. I will change it.Let me know how you want to proceed with the patchset/pull request.
To be clear I'd like to just drop the 2 patches which use zero_user() for this merge window. I've already submitted some additional btrfs changes for 5.13[1]. I can rework these zero_user() patches and submit them through Andrew for 5.13 as separate set. That is what I meant by 'I will change it'.
I can play the messenger again but now it seems a round of review is needed and with some testing it'll be possible in some -rc. At that point you may take the patches via the mm tree, unless Linus is ok with a late pull.
I'm ok with delaying the memzero_page() change to 5.13. There are a lot of kmap changes to come. But I'm trying to do them as smaller series just for this reason. I don't want valid changes to be denied due to my messing up just a few patches... :-( Hopefully you and Linus can forgive me on this one. Is ok to just drop them and merge the rest of this series in 5.12? Ira [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210217024826.3466046-1-ira.weiny@intel.com/ (local)
