I think that it would be indeed ok to merge to next if no one comments further following the v4 [1] and my last reply to Peff [2]

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191218112547.4974-1-chriscool@tuxfamily.org/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAP8UFD0h1TFVNqH7g823psaQzmEmzoz200CkZuDOV8GqNV7mrQ@mail.gmail.com/

According to Peff the code in this patch series has been running by GitHub for years. This patch series is also now used in a custom Git that has been running on gitlab.com for a few days. This custom Git is planned to be part of the GitLab 12.8 release later this month.

Thanks, Christian.
