The complete set has 500 patches. This is the second installment containing 15 patches. These 15 are actually 117 to 132 of the whole set. The whole set is available here: git://git.drbd.org/linux-2.6-drbd.git for-jens and is jens_for-3.2_drivers...for-jens and this part is a96f0ec...ccb0def The most noticeable change is the support for multiple replicated volumes in a single DRBD connection. Write-ordering is obeyed among all writes in all volumes in a single connection. This feature is really important for users who use DRBD for mirroring over longer distances. (Protocol A).
