SubjectHow to get lockref patch merged?
Hello,

what's the best way to get the following lockref patch merged? The
maintainers file doesn't list a maintainer. Should we go straight to
Linus? Does one of you want to take it?

We have a gfs2 patch that depends on it.

Thanks,
Andreas

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] lockref: Add lockref_put_not_zero
To: cluster-devel@redhat.com
Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, NeilBrown

Put a lockref unless the lockref is dead or its count would become zero.
This is the same as lockref_put_or_lock except that the lock is never
left held.
