I found some problems below in my patches and now considering
how to fix them:
  o Unnecessary EIO is returned to application if it submits
    a bio during table swapping.
  o kernel panic occurs by frequent table swapping during heavy I/Os.
 
I'll post the fixed version after my vacation.

Thanks,
