Yes - 3.10 LTS (or 3.11) has been what you want to be running for awhile now; I've been making sure all the bugfixes get backported quickly. The only bugfix I know of that I wasn't backported was a fix for a suspend issue, because it was part of a fairly involved allocator rework. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
