The ARM folks do this sort of stuff on a regular basis.. Very early on
Doug prepares a topic branch with only the big change, NFS folks pull
it and then pull your work. Then Doug would send the topic branch to
Linus as soon as the merge window opens, then NFS would send theirs.
This is alot less work overall than trying to sequence multiple
patches over multiple releases..
Agreed. Staging has alaways been a giant pain and things tend to never
finish moving over that way if they are non-trivial enough.
In that case:
You need to make sure you have all the right Acks. I've added
Anna and Bruce to Ack the NFS-related portions. Santosh should
Ack the RDS part.
To make this flow work for RDS, Doug's topic branch needs to
pulled into Dave's net-next as well.

Given the proximity to the holidays and the next merge window,
Doug will need to get a properly-acked topic branch published
in the next day or two so the rest of us can rebase and start
testing before the relevant parties disappear for the holiday.
