Seems that it's up to me, then.

Stephen, can you add my git branch for this patchset to linux-next?

URL: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux.git
Branch: statx-dioalign

This is targeting the 6.1 merge window with a pull request to Linus.

Thanks!

- Eric

Added from today.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
you may know, this is not a judgement of your code.  The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window. 

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
been:
     * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
        Signed-off-by,
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and 
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch).  It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

I notice that this branch has been removed.  Are you finished with it
(i.e. should I remove it from linux-next)?

Yes, I think so.  This patchset has been merged upstream.  Any more patches
related to STATX_DIOALIGN should go in through the VFS or filesystem-specific
trees.
