OK, patches pass review, but now we have a technical problem. I started to apply your patches, but only #1 and #2 applied successfully with the patch(1) tool. All the other patches generated rejections. I have attached my tree, which is 2.6.8 + patch-2.6.9-rc2 + s2io-2.6.9-rc2.patch s2io-2.6.9-rc2.patch is attached, which is what I have applied so far (your #1 and #2). Can you please re-diff and re-send patches #3 - #12 ? Everything else (patch content, email format, etc.) looked great. Regards, Jeff
