Thanks Ted! > > Didn't see it in the queue that just sent in, is it still queued up? It wasn't in the queue which I queued up because that was based on 5.8-rc4. Linus was a bit grumpy (fairly so) because it was late, and that's totally on me. He has said that he's going to start ignoring pull requests that aren't fixes only if this becomes a pattern, so while I can send him another pull request which will just have that one change, there are no guarantees he's going to take it at this late date. Sorry, when you sent me the commit saying that the changes that were needed were already upstream on August 3rd, I thought that meant that they were aready in Linus's tree. I should have checked and noticed that that in fact "ext4: flag as supporting buffered async reads" wasn't compiling against Linus's upstream tree, so I didn't realize this needed to be handled as a special case during the merge window.
