The marc.info archive does not preserve To: or Cc:
fields on e-mail. I had to look in my own inbox to
confirm who the recipients were.

Anna was the only NFS maintainer listed, and
linux-nfs was not included on that e-mail at all.
Did Anna ever reply with an Acked-by ? I don't see
that in either the archive or my own inbox.

Bruce needs to Ack the svc_rdma_transport.c hunks.

I have rebased on Doug's current for-4.5, and will
be testing today before submitting my for-4.5 patches
again. Your changes are mechanical, so I don't expect
to encounter a technical problem.

However, I would be more comfortable if the missing
Acks were fixed in Doug's tree (with Anna and Bruce's
permission, of course) before Linus pulls.
