I've changed the problematic lustre_compat patch after a closer look at
the code.  I'll post the result shortly.

I don't understand your comment about "break the patches into two
series".
The goal for these patches isn't to make series', it is to apply them to
the "lustre" branch, when they are ready.  Some are ready (thanks for
the confirmation), some aren't.  The ones that aren't will get revised
and reposted.

I'm okay with you posting any patches that are useful, whether or not
they conflict with anything in my lustre-testing branch.  My tendency
will be to apply your patches first, then rebase my outstanding
lustre-testing patches on top of them.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
