Small and obvious follow-ups are fine. What I really hated about this
ceph pull request was that it was multiple thousand lines of changes,
with no previous work or warning, and effectively no time in
linux-next.

Your for-linus branch is three small commits that actually restore old
functionality (well, one of them is documentetion) that got removed by
the big stuff you sent early (*).

So not at all the same kind of thing, and not problematic at all.

(*) thanks, btw - you used to be one of the late people, now lately
you've been one of the early ones.
