I'm not sure what the policy is exactly, I've heard that the RC phase is only for regressions, but I'm not sure how that applies to new drivers. We have nothing to regress from and I'd prefer getting these fixes in so that FCoE in 2.6.29 is as stable as can be. I agree that the logging stuff is a feature and not a fix, so it should not go in the RC. Also, there is one locking fix that introduced a defect that is later fixed in another patch. I'll re-do the patch set- pull out the locking changes, and merge the two locking patches. Can these fixes still make 2.6.29? I have a handful of fixes that I was going to send out on Friday, but I'll include them in the series as the last few patches. I'll call them out in the cover mail too. > The first bunch of patches from 1/21 look ok. > > The patches below looked ok too.
