Linus in general doesn't like cross tree merges (or any extraneous
merges) unless they are absolutely necessary; but then, he trusts git
merges more than many of us do.  :-)

I've put the the patch series on a separate patch, with a signed tag, at:

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git nfs-ext4-premerge

Can you confirm that you've pulled it into your tree and it's landed
in linux-next?  I probably won't bother pulling it in mine unless
there is definitely a merge conflict that I need to resolve.  (I've
checked and there do not appear to be any against linux-next as of
last night.)
