Jens,

please pull from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/linux-block.git for-jens

into your for-3.7/drivers branch to receive revert of patch that Sasha
Levin reported to cause NULL pointer dereferences, and it's not necessary.

Thanks!

Hi guys!

This is me complaining that I still see the spews that this pull
request should fix, probably because this mail got lost.


Thanks,
Sasha

You are seeing that on -next, right?

That's because a different version of the patchset has been pushed to
Linus, but for-next branch in Jens' tree still contains the old patchset
containing the faulty patch (which is never going upstream).

The fixed series is now in Linus' tree (as per -rc4), and I guess you are
not having the problem there, right?

Thanks,

I haven't thought of trying just Linus's tree because I thought that
the original patch
that causes the breakage didn't make it there, so it would be obvious
that it would
work fine.

I'll give it a go I guess.


Thanks,
Sasha
