This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sd: Disable support for 256 byte/sector disks to the 4.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sd-disable-support-for-256-byte-sector-disks.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 74856fbf441929918c49ff262ace9835048e4e6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Hounschell <dmarkh@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 10:49:09 +0200 Subject: sd: Disable support for 256 byte/sector disks From: Mark Hounschell <dmarkh@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 74856fbf441929918c49ff262ace9835048e4e6a upstream. 256 bytes per sector support has been broken since 2.6.X, and no-one stepped up to fix this. So disable support for it.
