Re: Interesting post from the MC project to linux-kernel. :block while spinlock held...

Hello Garloff-san,

Actually, a good question.

I have been trying to find the details of the verification tool from stanford

Maybe we should ask the posters from the Stanford directly.

(Oops. I thought I posted this to linux-scsi, but did I post
linux-kernel instead? Apologies.)
