Not sure if it's necessary to mention this, but I guess it's fine.

Information about upstream version isn't needed in Linux commit log, so
that sentence could be omitted.


It felt like a good idea to put this info, but since it is not directly
related to the kernel I would remove it for v3.
I'm not quite sure what you changed in v2 compared to v1.

It added the second hunk to the diff of xz_private.h.

Lasse,
Since this change is located under lib/, I assume it will be routed
through Andrew's tree?
If that's the case, then perhaps we should also Cc Andrew.

Yes, putting him into the To field and others as Cc should make the
patch go forward. Sorry that I didn't notice and comment this myself
earlier.


I will add Andrew Morton for v3 in To, and the rest in Cc and add the changelog part.


Hi Kuan-Wei and Lasse,

Thank you for your feedback, it was very helpful.
