Hey Greg,
This change shouldn't be backported to stable@. It is a feature, if
Mark-PK feels they need it older kernels they need to carry the change
in their own tree. Or at a minimum they need to explain why this
change is warranted in stable@.
But to answer your original question the upstream commit is:
035641b01e72 dm init: add dm-mod.waitfor to wait for asynchronously probed block devices
Thanks,
Mike
