Hi Xiu Jianfeng,

We just changed LSM maintainers earlier this week, and while I haven't
forgotten about your patch (I reviewed it previously), it is too late
in this current release cycle (-rc6) to merge non-critical fixes.
This would go into the LSM tree after the upcoming merge window.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
