I was about to ask the same thing.

Greg, what is the plan with these remaining patches for sysfs tagged
dirs? Will you have some time to merge them in your tree soon?

I ran my network namespace tests last week with this latest patchset
from Eric applied on top of your tree (which already contains the first
batch of patches). Everything looked good.

Regards,
Benjamin
