The patch titled
revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
revert-blockdev-direct-io-back-to-2619-version.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx>
Andrew is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput slowdown and
as-iosched oopses due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against
blockdevs. We don't know why either of these things are occurring.
The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20 release.
