These seem to apply fine, thanks for resending.
If you post a v3 to address Bruce's comment, can you also
address this checkpatch nit?
WARNING: Prefer 'fallthrough;' over fallthrough comment
#154: FILE: fs/nfsd/nfsfh.c:299:
+ /* Fallthrough */
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 120 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
