Hi Greg and Sasha, is there any news about these patches?
What patches?
Just checked the stable branches 5.1.y and 5.0.y, they seem not merged.
Are they merged in Linus's tree? What are the git commit ids?
Hi Greg, thanks for your prompt response! The story behind these patches is a bit confusing; I'll summarize below.
I've submitted 2 patches with fixes to linux-raid in April; if you wanna take a look, they are:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=155839017427565 https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=155839017827569
After some discussion, it was determined a patchset from Ming Lei fixed the same issues I've reported/fixed, but it was a rework (and depends on the removal of legacy IO path). That said, Song Liu submitted both of my fixes as stable-only patches. I couldn't find a stable archive (and I don't subscribe to that), so I cannot point links here.
I just resubmitted both patches, this time CCing you and Sasha. Let me know if there's anything needed - I'd prefer to have them upstream too, but the discussion with Christoph/Ming/Song reached a consensus that it wouldn't make sense to add them and soon after add Ming's patchset, which removes that code. But backporting Ming's series is not really simple/feasible.
Thanks,
Guilherme
I have no record of these patches in my queue at the moment, sorry. If these were a backport, please resend them in the proper format.
thanks,
