Hey Martin, I rebased (and fixed/tested) your writesame patches on v3.6-rc2 + jens' for-linus branch, the git tree is available here: https://github.com/snitm/linux/tree/writesame I've also made the updated patchset available here: http://people.redhat.com/msnitzer/patches/upstream/writesame/series.html Should the writesame patches come before any discard merge or 1:1 DMA and block range assumption fixes? NOTE (for others besides martin): http://people.redhat.com/msnitzer/patches/upstream/writesame/0001-block-Clean-up-merge-logic.patch removes all the discard merge hacks; I think it provides a clean baseline to then layer discard merge support back in -- but maybe that's a flawed strategy? Could be I've wasted a few hours by rebasing these patches... regardless, it would be great if you could share what your plans are.
