Re: hybrid raid1 with trim support [REGRESSION]

[Markus <M4rkusXXL@web.de>]

Hi!

Now I had the time to bisect, started with 3.7 as good and 3.8 as bad.
0cfbcafcae8b7364b5fa96c2b26ccde7a3a296a9 is the bad commit. [1]
block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard

While 3.8.10 was still bad, the same kernel with the reverted patch applied is fine.


I found another report. [2]


Thanks,
Markus
