Hi,
So this time it's a little beyond just block stuff, since the
generic-ipi branch is included (in preparation for block parts actually
using that code).
- xen block bits
- Write starvation fix for 'AS', a very long standing bug
- CFQ using the message trace for debugging.
- Ability to inject messages into the blktrace stream from user space,
which helps annotate a longer running trace where you make changes
meanwhile.
- Finally kill off request_queue_t typedef.
- The data integrity block parts.
- Export of the disk read-only attribute in sysfs
- The generic-ipi smp helpers and a slew of arch conversions.
All of the above can be viewed/tested in the for-next branch, which is
what Stephen is pulling as well. For manual code browsing, go to gitweb
here:
http://git.kernel.dk/?p=linux-2.6-block.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-next
or pull
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git for-next

Probably not, but since this bug has existed for years with very little
impact, it's not critical enough to warrant direct inclusion. Thus, it's
queued up with the rest of the changes for the next release.

thanks for the fast response

Can you add a patch to add bounce support to blk_rq_map_user_iov?

Hi,
please could you also add this patch?
http://www2.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/agk/patches/2.6/editing/dm-md-merge_bvec_fn-with-separate-bdev-and-sector.patch
(following device-mapper bvec merge function patches rely on it...)
Or is there some objections to not include it?
Thanks,
Milan

Yep, I have agreed to that patch before, I'll add it.
