Hi, upstream patches: Commit: 2d5b569b665e ("md/raid5: avoid races when changing cache size.") Commit: 49895bcc7e56 ("md/raid5: don't let shrink_slab shrink too far.") were tagged for -stable, but with a request they be delayed a bit: Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (4.1 - please delay until 2 weeks after release of 4.2) Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (4.1 - please release with 2d5b569b665) Those two weeks have now passed but they didn't make it into 4.1.8. I checked and the first patch has an easily resolved conflict. So to make it as easy as possible the two patches based on 4.1.8 follow this email.
