Hi Dave, these patches are in SUSE's enterprise linux based on 3.12. So I picked them from there. Testing is covered by our QA, but of course, with some additional patches on the top of them which do not satisfy the stable rules (because they add features). > Randomly picked XFS backports have a nasty habit of causing > regressions, and it's always me that is on the pointy end of having > to triage problems users report with those backports... Despite the patches fix real problems, if you prefer me not to take such patches, I will drop them and will apply no more. thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
