| |
Following are 6 patches for md which are suitable for 2.6.25-rc1.
The first fixes a bug which could make it a candidate for 24-final. However it is a deadlock that seems to occur very rarely, and has been in mainline since 2.6.22. So letting it into one more release shouldn't be a big problem. While the fix is fairly simple, it could have some unexpected consequences, so I'd rather go for the next cycle.
The second patch fixes a bug which only affect -mm at the moment but will probably affect 2.6.25 unless fixed.
The rest are cleanups with no functional change (I hope).
Thanks, NeilBrown
