Hello Mike, The patches in this series are: * A few fixes for bugs in the dm-mpath driver I ran into while testing this driver. * A resend of various dm / dm-mpath patches I had posted before but for which I'm still waiting for a review from you. Please consider at least the dm-mpath bug fixes for kernel v4.12. Thanks, Bart. Bart Van Assche (13): dm-mpath: Split activate_path() dm-mpath: Avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loop dm-mpath: Delay requeuing while path initialization is in progress dm-rq: Adjust requeuing delays dm-mpath: Make it easier to analyze requeuing behavior dm-rq: Check blk_mq_register_dev() return value dm, persistence: Remove an unused argument from dm_block_manager_create() dm: Verify suspend_locking assumptions at runtime dm-mpath: Verify locking assumptions at runtime dm: Introduce enum dm_queue_mode dm-mpath: Micro-optimize the hot path dm-mpath: Introduce assign_bit() dm, dm-mpath: Make it easier to detect unintended I/O request flushes drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c | 3 - drivers/md/dm-core.h | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-era-target.c | 2 - drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 187 +++++++++++++------------- drivers/md/dm-rq.c | 15 ++- drivers/md/dm-table.c | 18 ++- drivers/md/dm-thin-metadata.c | 2 - drivers/md/dm.c | 26 ++-- drivers/md/dm.h | 12 +- drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-block-manager.c | 1 - drivers/md/persistent-data/dm-block-manager.h | 2 +- include/linux/device-mapper.h | 14 +- 13 files changed, 148 insertions(+), 138 deletions(-) -- 2.12.2 -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
