Need any more info? As you can see from commit b0b477c7e0dd9 the round-robin path selector is now using percpu data (pointer) and a percpu_counter. I'm really not sure how else to access this percpu data. Cc'ing LKML, linux-block, Jens and hch to cast a wider net in the hopes of getting an answer to how to fix this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
