Patches look nice, but unfortunately only -mm stuff and will need to be rebased once 2.6.23 opens anyway. Where are we on the ondemand read-ahead merging? -mm has continually had different read-ahead code than mainline now for seemingly years, seems a bit pointless to me. Either we get the stuff merged, or toss it out. Nothing needs to simmer that long. I suspect we wont see any real potential regressions before it hits mainline anyway. -- Jens Axboe - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
