Hi Andreas,

I am terribly sorry for the confusion and the noise in my previous email. 
I completely misread your message and drafted a rushed reply by mistake. 
Please disregard my previous "Thanks for applying" message.

You are absolutely right. Adding the __rcu annotation only exposes the 
200 sparse warnings without fixing the actual underlying RCU dereferences, 
which is indeed not very useful for upstream yet.

I will go back and work on a proper patch series to cleanly address those 
underlying RCU dereference warnings in fs/gfs2/ before submitting again.

My sincere apologies for the noise, and thank you for your patience and 
valuable feedback.

Best regards,
Adrian
