There are multiple allocations, so I would leave plural there.

Fixed, and tweaked the headers (already did that last time around so
nothing new, you just didn't pick up my headers for your v2).  I pushed
your patchset to linux-next (for 3.21), see:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=for-next

Ondrej and Milan, please let us know if you hit any problems with this
patchset and/or branch.

Will try to test it soon on some strange configurations :)

OK, see if you and Ondrej can re-test with urgency over the next few
days.


I'll post summary of results as a reply to the top post, including short commentary on why we decided to implement the switch for dmtable.

For anyone interested I'll also give links to full test results.

AFAIK the only thing that should be tested again at the moment is the switch itself.

O.
