Ah my bad, I'll make sure to explicitly mention its been ACK'd by linux-xfs in the future.
Will send out a MAINTAINERS file patch as well.
Thanks, Leah

Is this series "ok" to take? I've lost track of who we should be taking xfs stable patches from these days...
Yes, because it was posted to xfs list and acked by Darrick: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20240426231407.GQ360919@frogsfrogsfrogs/
I guess the cover letter that is missing from this series would have mentioned that.
Anyway, how can you keep track, that is a good question.
There are some tell signs that you could rely on in the future:
- All the stable xfs patch series in the recent era, as this one, have been Acked-by: Darrick J. Wong djwong@kernel.org
- The majority of stable xfs patches in the recent era, have been posted and Signed-off-by the xfs maintainer that is listed in MAINTAINER in the respective LTS kernel:

Leah,
I guess a patch to MAINTAINERS for 6.1.y is in order...
Thanks, Amir.
