The patch titled Subject: aoe: disallow unsupported AoE minor addresses has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was aoe-disallow-unsupported-aoe-minor-addresses.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ed Cashin <ecashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: aoe: disallow unsupported AoE minor addresses A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses) higher than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the driver. There is a change coming that will allow the aoe driver to overcome this limit by using system device minor numbers dynamically, but until then, this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the driver when AoE targets with high minor numbers are on the AoE network.
