Hello Jens, Andrew We have accidentally commit "loop: queue_lock NULL pointer derefence in blk_throtl_exit V1" applied: ee71a968672a9951aee6014c55511007596425bc It's not a huge problem, but I think, it's better to have V3 applied https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/21/158 since V3 targets all the throttle users, not only loop (by moving `fall-back' from loop_free to blk_release_queue). V3 is in Andrew's mmotm as for now loop-queue_lock-null-pointer-derefence-in-blk_throtl_exit-v3.patch Could we please revert ee71a968672a9951aee6014c55511007596425bc when loop-queue_lock-null-pointer-derefence-in-blk_throtl_exit-v3 will land in the kernel? Sorry. Thanks in advance, Sergey
