Al, are you willing to push all of these to Linus before the merge window closes, with a cc to stable@vger.kernel.org? Or I can push them to linus via the ext4.git tree if I get signoffs/acked-by's from the VFS and NFS maintainers. I'll want to do a full a regression test cycle since we're pushing patches created after the merge window opened, but I consider these bug fixes and will certainly support pushing them to Linus as far as ext4 is concerned.
