BDI should be back in -mm, for the other its in shambles atm, I'll tell you where to find it when I've put it back together. I should get myself some time to read on how to push relative git trees, as I did get myself a kernel.org account. > Also, I've noticed that the more recent network deadlock avoidance > patchsets haven't included NBD changes; any reason why these have been > dropped?

NBD has some serious block layer issues, I once talked with Jens about it and he explained what needed to be done to get NBD back in shape again, but I could not be bothered to spend time on it. [ and have since forgotten most of the details :-/ ] For me NBD is dead and broken beyond repair, it needs a wholesale rewrite. - 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/
