Why the resend?

Nothing happens until the merge window closes with the release of -rc1
(almost certainly on this coming Sunday).  I goofed and did not act on
this faster, and so it is my fault this did not make it into linux-next
before the merge window.  But I am not going to rush this forward.



You also ignored my review and have not even descibed why it is safe
to change the type of a filesystem parameter.

-	fsparam_u32("hidepid",	Opt_hidepid),
+	fsparam_string("hidepid",	Opt_hidepid),


Especially in light of people using fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_...);

All I need is someone to point out that fsparam_u32 does not use
FSCONFIG_SET_BINARY, but FSCONFIG_SET_STRING.



My apologies for being grumpy but this feels like you are asking me to
go faster when it is totally inappropriate to do so, while busily
ignoring my feedback.

I think this should happen.  But I can't do anything until after -rc1.

Eric
