No, sorry, that was my mistake. I misread things when I was looking
over your patch last night.

Please resubmit your patch once you've fixed things up and tested it.

I would recommend that you at least try running your patch using the
kvm-xfstests's smoke test[1] before submitting them. It will save you
and me time.
