Not that I know of, but I do have an incriminating email from you where you promise to pick up the pieces if anything explodes ;-) There've also been commits from Jens, Boaz and Tomo that could plausibly be related (I think we can discount the one from Adrian). Meelis, can you run through the various patches to qlogicpti, backing them out one at a time? I worry that some infrastructure may have been taken away by followups to these patches, so it may not be feasible. -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
