Subject: [PATCH 000 of 6] md: various fixes for md
Message-ID: <20080114123726.19968.patches@notabene>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-kernel.vger.kernel.org>
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

Following are 6 patches for md which are suitable for 2.6.25-rc1.

The first fixes a bug which could make it a candidate for 24-final.
However it is a deadlock that seems to occur very rarely, and has been
in mainline since 2.6.22.  So letting it into one more release
shouldn't be a big problem.  While the fix is fairly simple, it could
have some unexpected consequences, so I'd rather go for the next cycle.

The second patch fixes a bug which only affect -mm at the moment but
will probably affect 2.6.25 unless fixed.

The rest are cleanups with no functional change (I hope).

Thanks,
NeilBrown
