- Fixes a serious bug (system stall) of request-based dm.
No bug report yet, but I can reproduce it on my box.
It has been existing since 2.6.31-rc1.
- Should be sent for 2.6.33
- Should be sent to -stable, too
dm-mpath-wait-for-pg_init-completion-when-suspending.patch # 76027
- Fixes a possible serious bug (panic).
But no bug report, I don't have any producer, and
some cosmetic dependencies on other patches.
- No need to send for 2.6.33 nor -stable for now.
Some other patches fix some minor bugs which display unnecessary
I/O errors, but such I/O errors have no serious effect.
So no need to send for 2.6.33 nor -stable.
Thanks,
Kiyoshi Ueda
