Ok, this whole series of patches have just been such a disaster that I'm (a) disgusted that _anybody_ sent an Acked-by: for any of it, and (b) that I'm still looking at it at all, but I am.
And quite frankly, the more I look, and the more answers from you I get, the less I like it. And I didn't like it that much to start with, as you may have noticed.
You say that "At least for mmu-notifier-core given I obviously am the original author of that code", but that is not at all obvious either. One of the reasons I stated that authorship seems to have been thrown away is very much exactly in that first mmu-notifier-core patch:
+ * linux/mm/mmu_notifier.c + * + * Copyright (C) 2008 Qumranet, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2008 SGI + * Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
so I would very strongly dispute that it's "obvious" that you are the original author of the code there.
So there was a reason why I said that I thought authorship had been lost somewhere along the way.
