So guys, this needs to be done *now*. And Jens - this is the last time I believe you when you say late patches are required. The buggy patch that introduced this problem was part of that very late pull request that I already rejected once, and you then claimed was absolutely required. So the dicking around with the block layer stops *now*. Seriously. I'm pissed off. I don't want to see anything even half-way questionable during the whole next release window. Not even during the merge window. You need to do some serious quality control, and re-think the whole "large changes" model. Linus
