Subject: [GIT PULL] Block IO bits for 3.2-rc2
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:11:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EC62F51.9000308@kernel.dk> (raw)
Hi Linus,
Here's the collection of block IO related fixes for the next -rc
release.
- Improve coverage of the blk_rq_map_user_iov() segment length checking,
we should continue checking even after seeing unaligned entries.
- Fix for two potential memory leaks, in paride and loop.
- Two fixes for cciss. Disable ASPM always, similarly to what Windows
does. And auto-engage the SCSI support, if it's been selected.
- Fix for missing bdi timer deletion in bdi_destroy().
- Revert of the nasty write-once disk alias hack that went into 3.2-rc1.
Lets kill it now before we are stuck with this interface forever.
- Few other minor fixups and cleanups.
Please pull!
