It's against 2.4.2-pre4, as testing on 2.4.1-ac19 showed other problems (oom killer would kill dbench or bash before it could finish...). I'll take a look at ac19 next. Changes since loop-4: o Make sure loop_thread is up. A mount -o loop could sometimes sneak in a request before the helper thread was started. (me) o Remove all the backing file setup, count on get_file just holding a reference to it. (Neil Brown) o Remove fs/buffer.c:wakeup_bdflush work around. loop doesn't block on requests, so it shouldn't be needed. *.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/patches/2.4.2-pre4/loop-5 -- Jens Axboe - 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/
