Yes. It is missing Acked-by: lines from the maintainers of
those files.

All changes to files under net/sunrpc need an Ack from one
of the maintainers listed in MAINTAINERS for that directory,
if the changes are going through another maintainer's tree.

I have been personally asked to remind folks that the
nfs-sunrpc maintainers do not read linux-rdma, so they
must be contacted directly (and cc: linux-nfs) as part of
proposing finished patches in that area.

Unfortunately I have not been able to review every patch
that has come by on linux-rdma in the past 9 months to
ensure the eyes are dotted and tees crossed. More than
a few commits in the tree are missing the proper tags.
