Miller" , linux-ide@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org Sorry, my last email was bad. Splitting patches into logical parts is a bit tricky. Let me try explain better. Every patch should sort of make sense on its own. In the original code it's using GFP_ATOMIC but that's because the original API was bad and we had no choice. In the 1/1 patch we're using GFP_ATOMIC explicitly by choice and it's wrong. In patch 2/2 we fix this problem but we shouldn't introduce bad code even if we fix it in later patches. regards, dan carpenter
