This patch set is fixing two serious problems which have turned up late
in the release cycle. The first fixes a problem with 4k sector disks
where the transfer length (amount of data sent to the disk) was getting
increased every time the disk was revalidated leading to potential for
overflows. The other is a regression oops fix for some of our last
merge window code.
The patch is available here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi.git scsi-fixes
The short changelog is:
Brian King (1):
sd: Fix max transfer length for 4k disks
Mike Christie (1):
scsi: fix device handler detach oops
