Re: [PATCH] CIFS: Fix readpages retrying on reconnects

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Merged into cifs-2.6.git for-next (and for-linus)

I would like to get this and also
http://git.samba.org/?p=sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commit;h=19e81573fca7b87ced7701e01ba164b968d929bd
upstream ASAP but timing is getting tight, will need to wait at least
a day for the normal linux-next build processes to complete and any
additional test results.
