Old source I guess, just one blk_plug_device() in the copy I have here. Just checked latest git, still just one blk_plug_device(), are you diffing against -mm or something like that? Or linux-next? And queue_lock is of course a pointer, I didn't even compile the thing... Thanks for the updated variant! -- Jens Axboe
