From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: NeilBrown Subject: [PATCH 000 of 6] md: various fixes for md Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:45:18 +1100 Message-ID: <20080114123726.19968.patches@notabene> Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Andrew Morton Cc: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Al Viro , Dan Williams List-Id: linux-raid.ids Following are 6 patches for md which are suitable for 2.6.25-rc1. The first fixes a bug which could make it a candidate for 24-final. However it is a deadlock that seems to occur very rarely, and has been in mainline since 2.6.22. So letting it into one more release shouldn't be a big problem. While the fix is fairly simple, it could have some unexpected consequences, so I'd rather go for the next cycle. The second patch fixes a bug which only affect -mm at the moment but will probably affect 2.6.25 unless fixed. The rest are cleanups with no functional change (I hope).
