Okay, great. I didn't see it in linux-next and there was no further reply to
this thread, which usually (having seen it happen on lots of syzbot bugs) means
the person forgot about it.

Tip: you can use the '--in-reply-to=<MESSAGE_ID>' option to 'git send-email' or
'git format-patch' to send the patch in response to the original thread, which
makes it very easy to see that a patch was actually sent out.
