From: Vincent Fu <vincent.fu@xxxxxxx> Jens, please consider this patch series. The LFSR error message and test script error handling changes I believe should be uncontroversial. Regarding the zonemode=strided patch, it will break job files that depend on the old buggy behavior, but that behavior is so inconsistent with the documentation that I think this fix is warranted.
