Petersen" , Jens Axboe Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org We have the block integrity code to support DIF/DIX in the the tree for about 5 and a half years, and we still don't have a single consumer of it. By normal kernel rules it should never have been merged, or at least the bitrot long removed. Given that we'll have a lot of work to do in this area with block multiqueue I think it's time to either kill it off for good or make sure we can actually use and test it.
