It looks like that since you worded it as "just RFC for now since they aren't in 3.15 yet", the xfstests folks never actually accepted your changes into xfstests, and so I never picked it up. For future reference, the tests for COLLAPSE_RANGE and ZERO_RANGE were accepted into xfstests well before the merge window opened, and that was awfully convenience since we could pull the latest from the xfstests.git tree and do automated testing while those patches were in the ext4 and xfs trees. So feel free to be a bit more insistent about asking for your xfstests to be merged upstream; you don't have to wait until the changes reach mainline. If it's clear that the patches are going to be accepted, and they are in the subsystem trees, that's a fine time to push to get the changes into xfstests. Cheers, - Ted
