I'll drop this one, and the follow-on dm-exception-store.c patch as well, as that was the only reason this patch was added. If you want to redo these two patches, and get them into the 2.6.27-stable tree, please do so and send them to stable@kernel.org. thanks, greg k-h -- 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/
