Re: hybrid raid1 with trim support [REGRESSION]

[Markus <M4rkusXXL@web.de>]

Hi!

Thanks for your work. The patch seems to work for me on a vanilla 3.8.10, at 
least the hdds are no longer dropped from the raid.
The code now ignores some request? What was the reason the disks fell off the 
raid? The discards are still passed to the ssd?


Thanks,
Markus
