I don't know whether it was applied in Linus' or your tree first, but is it actually verified to fix anything? AFAIR Peter Horton later posted that it didn't fix a thing for him and Petr Vandrovec tracked down his corruption issue to a Promise driver problem. I see no corruption with Master-Read-Caching enabled here and unless someone can verify that it really is the culprit, the patch is probably completely redundant. -Udo. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
