Ritesh, You can save yourself time in not testing the patch series with fstests for block sizes below ps as we already are aware that a patch in the series breaks this. We just wanted to get the patch series out early for review given the progress. There's probably one patch which regresses this, if each patch regresses this, that's a bigger issue :P Luis
