Subject: [GIT PULL] Single important block patch for 2.6.38
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 15:38:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D7A33FF.80509@fusionio.com> (raw)
Hi Linus,
This fixes a regression introduced early in the 2.6.38 series, where
blkdev_issue_zeroout() has a nasty race that causes a panic. Thanks to
Lukas Czerner for finding and fixing this one. Please pull!
