The first from v3.9.y is: target: Use FD_MAX_SECTORS/FD_BLOCKSIZE for blockdevs using fileio https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/target/?h=linux-3.9.y&id=8cb3a88522df20a6d77934260040facfc0449f0e and the second from v3.10.y is: target/file: Update hw_max_sectors based on current block_size https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/target/?h=linux-3.10.y&id=480da400c39d5c4398765623c7bb007a359a059f I'd also recommend applying the following from v3.9.y: target/file: Fix off-by-one READ_CAPACITY bug for !S_ISBLK export https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/target/?h=linux-3.9.y&id=0813b7c39d5d046feb9e7a632abd09aaafae056e --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
