It probably is best to merge them, since backporters will probably want
both patches anyway. Just make yourself the patch author and keep my S-
o-b line.

Yeah.

It may even be best to ensure that the list_head and such are fully
initialized for both allocated and embedded struct nfsd4_copy's. You
might shave off a few cpu cycles by not doing that, but it makes things
more fragile.

Even better, we really ought to split a lot of the fields in nfsd4_copy
into a different structure (maybe nfsd4_async_copy). Trimming down
struct nfsd4_copy would cut down the size of nfsd4_compound as well
since it has a union that contains it. I was planning on doing that
eventually, but if you want to take that on, then that would be fine
too.
