Some of the patches are already included in linux-3.5, and the rest needs to be rebased on top of it. I'd like to try the whole series on a quadcore testing machine, but I'm not familiar with the code in most of the patches, and only one single wrong merge could lead to wrong conclusions. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
