Re: [PATCH v4 0/3] ceph: don't unregister an MDS session before removing its caps

Since the last merge with main Linux the testing branch has grown by
upwards of 100 acked patches.
Xiubo acked your patch, which is good enough for me, Xiubo is back on
the maintainers list for ceph client.
I'll take another look at the discussion for fairness' sake.

Feel free to submit and argue for any other patches you feel are necessary.
If a patch solves a problem or adds needed functionality it will be
reviewed and applied as always.
