Two days and nobody from DM land has commented? Hello? I'll tag this as needed in 2.6.23.x as well. I'll duck the "dm: struct io_restriction reordered" patch. People have been changing things around in there and I had to fix a reject in "dm: bounce_pfn limit added" to make it apply - let's not complicate life. However it is a good change and hopefully the DM people will pick it up. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
