If you are touching multiple filesystems, you really should cc the entire patchset to linux-fsdevel, similar to how you sent the entire patchset to lkml. That way the entire series will end up on a list that almost all fs developers read. LKML is not a list you can rely on all filesystem developers reading (or developers in any other subsystem, for that matter)...
