Hi Greg
I'd like to ask you to drop this patch from all stable branches.
It causes regression with snapshot merging and the regression is much worse than the bug that it fixes.
Sure, but is there a fix in Linus's branch for this that I should take instead, or is it reverted in linux-next already?
thanks,
greg k-h
There is no fix now - but the bug that this fixed is minor (it fixes a crash in a configuration that is never set by lvm2) - and the regression is major (snapshot merging doesn't work).
I'll work with Mike on reverting it a providing a proper fix.
