Unfortunately this patch causes a regression when copying large files to my outboard USB3 drive. (Nothing at all to do with networking.) When I try to copy a large (20GB) file to the USB3 drive, the copy dies after about 7GB, the ext4 journal aborts and the drive is remounted read-only. This bug is 100% reproducible (always pretty close to 7GB) and reverting this patch completely fixes the problem. (Note to Sarah: I recently emailed you about this problem, and I *wrongly* said that reverting the patch doesn't help. That was a mistake, sorry.) I'm happy to try any debugging suggestions/tricks. BTW, please tell me if I've cc'd too many people. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
