[PATCH 1/2] mbcache: Remove unused features
The mbcache code was written to support a variable number of indexes, but all the existing users use exactly one index. Simplify to code to support only that case. There are also no users of the cache entry free operation, and none of the users keep extra data in cache entries. Remove those features as well. ... 21 Jul 2010 16:55

[PATCH 0/2] mbcache fixes
Al, here is an mbcache cleanup and then a fixed version of Shenghui's minor shrinker function fix. The patches have survived functional testing here. This seems slightly too much for kernel-janitors, so could you please take the patches? Thanks, Andreas Andreas Gruenbacher (2): mbcache: Remove unuse... 21 Jul 2010 16:55

[PATCH 2/2] mbcache: fix shrinker function return value
The shrinker function is supposed to return the number of cache entries after shrinking, not before shrinking. Fix that. Based on a patch from Wang Sheng-Hui <crosslonelyover(a)gmail.com>.

md versus partition scanning (bd_invalidated)
Hi, We (Intel software raid devs) are seeing a problem with the detection of partitions on md devices. The trace below shows that the block device inode is dropped in-between when the array comes up and when it is first opened (timestamp 655.498875). When this happens bdev->bd_invalidated is cleared by bdget()... 28 Jul 2010 16:16
