Ok, I've changed the merge commit as follows now:
Merge tag 'v4.20-rc1'
Pull in the gfs2 fixes that went into v4.19-rc8:
gfs2: Fix iomap buffered write support for journaled files gfs2: Fix iomap buffered write support for journaled files (2)
Without these two commits, the following fix would cause conflicts.
So merging v4.19-rc8 would have been sufficient. v4.20-rc1 is what I ended up testing, though.
Are you okay with that now?
Thanks, Andreas
