Tejun... I sucked all the patches out of git, reverted them in reverse order and did a quilt bisect (having been repeatedly traumatised by git bisect, due to all the bisection holes we're adding, due to that never-rebase-your-tree thing). revert-64c42998f14d5894ea3138625897d620b30c8e4e.patch revert-274193224cdabd687d804a26e0150bb20f2dd52c.patch revert-4a0b75c7d02c2bd46ed227d4ba5941ba8a0aba5d.patch revert-ff56c895cf43c7896e5a5f31e2d55bb7fdbdb63e.patch revert-4eabc941259f9d8c8fb71746d3f30c87e1d9e49b.patch revert-f1f8cc94651738b418ba54c039df536303b91704.patch revert-9b84cacd013996f244d85b3d873287c2a8f88658.patch revert-7e5a8794492e43e9eebb68a98a23be055888ccd0.patch revert-3d3c2379feb177a5fd55bb0ed76776dc9d4f3243.patch revert-47fdd4ca96bf4b28ac4d05d7a6e382df31d3d758.patch revert-a612fddf0d8090f2877305c9168b6c1a34fb5d90.patch revert-c58698073218f2c8f2fc5982fa3938c2d3803b9f.patch revert-22f746e235a5cbee2a6ca9887b1be2aa7d31fe71.patch revert-f8fc877d3c1f10457d0d73d8540a0c51a1fa718a.patch revert-f2dbd76a0a994bc1d5a3d0e7c844cc373832e86c.patch BAD revert-1238033c79e92e5c315af12e45396f1a78c73dec.patch revert-b50b636bce6293fa858cc7ff6c3ffe4920d90006.patch revert-b9a1920837bc53430d339380e393a6e4c372939f.patch revert-b2efa05265d62bc29f3a64400fad4b44340eedb8.patch revert-f1a4f4d35ff30a328d5ea28f6cc826b2083111d2.patch revert-216284c352a0061f5b20acff2c4e50fb43fea183.patch revert-dc86900e0a8f665122de6faadd27fb4c6d2b3e4d.patch revert-283287a52e3c3f7f8f9da747f4b8c5202740d776.patch revert-09ac46c429464c919d04bb737b27edd84d944f02.patch BAD revert-6e736be7f282fff705db7c34a15313281b372a76.patch GOOD revert-42ec57a8f68311bbbf4ff96a5d33c8a2e90b9d05.patch GOOD revert-a73f730d013ff2788389fd0c46ad3e5510f124e6.patch revert-8ba61435d73f2274e12d4d823fde06735e8f6a54.patch GOOD revert-481a7d64790cd7ca61a8bbcbd9d017ce58e6fe39.patch revert-34f6055c80285e4efb3f602a9119db75239744dc.patch revert-1ba64edef6051d2ec79bb2fbd3a0c8f0df00ab55.patch GOOD At the f2dbd76a0a994bc1d5a3d0e7c844cc373832e86 pivot point the kernel went odd, got stuck, slowly emitting "cfq: cic link failed!" messages. So we've added yet another bisection hole in there somewhere. And the bisection indicates that this (drop-dead show-stopping box-killing) regression was added by 6e736be7f282fff705db7c34a15313281b372a76 ("block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction"). Please don't add another bisection hole when fixing this.</troll> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
