Re: [PATCH] gfs2: add missing __rcu annotation to i_gl in incore.h

Hi Andreas,

I am terribly sorry for the confusion and the noise in my previous email.
I completely misread your message and drafted a rushed reply by mistake.
Please disregard my previous "Thanks for applying" message.

You are absolutely right. Adding the __rcu annotation only exposes the
200 sparse warnings without fixing the actual underlying RCU dereferences,
which is indeed not very useful for upstream yet.

I will go back and work on a proper patch series to cleanly address those
underlying RCU dereference warnings in fs/gfs2/ before submitting again.

My sincere apologies for the noise, and thank you for your patience and
valuable feedback.

Best regards,
Adrian
