So we have to convert to new API for all filesystems, which is done in one patch. Some filesystems are easy to convert (just replace kmem_cache_alloc() to alloc_inode_sb()), while other filesystems need to do more work.
From what I can tell, three are 54 file systems for which it was a trivial one-line change, and two (f2fs and nfs42) that were a tad bit more complex.
In order to make it easy for maintainers of different filesystems to review their own maintained part, I split the patch into patches which are per-filesystem in this version. I am not sure if this is a good idea, because there is going to be more commits.
What I'd actually suggest is that you combine all of the trivial file system changes into a single commit, and keep the two more complex changes for f2fs and nfs42 in separate commits. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> ... for the ext4 related change. - Ted
