Hi, Mike, That git tree doesn't seem to exist. I did manage to apply your patch set on top of next-20160415, though. So... what testing did you do? ;-) I ran into the following problems: - git clone fails - yum segfaults - many blktrace/blkparse issues, including incorrect cpu recorded in traces, null task names, and blkparse outputting nothing for a trace file several gigabytes in size. After that, I decided to back out your patches and test the base linux-next kernel. That kernel has none of those issues. So, either I'm missing some dependencies, or I think we've got some issues to iron out before this thing goes in. Before I dig any further, am I missing something?
