So these two commits content is identical but they are completly different patches from different authors (I was wondering about the different subject), and David never sent it as is to me as it was part of another commit[1] and I guess the other half got dropped on a rebase and I didn't notice the overlap... [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240328163424.2781320-3-dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx Given this I'd favor keeping Randy's older commit in my tree, so I'll send it to Linus as soon as Christian gives his ok on dropping the patch (or I guess it doesn't really make that much sense to wait any longer at this point?)
