The patches build on top of the new virtio APIs at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/18431; the new API simplifies the locking of the virtio-scsi driver nicely, thus it makes sense to require them as a prerequisite. Changes from the previous post, which can be found at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/17869: - patches 1 and 2 ("virtio: add functions for piecewise addition of buffers", "virtio-scsi: use functions for piecewise composition of buffers") split into their own series - new cleanup patch "virtio-scsi: push vq lock/unlock into virtscsi_vq_done" - reorganized code to move ACCESS_ONCE in a clearer place - included Wanlong Gao's CPU hotplug patches Ok for 3.9? It would probably be easier to get it in via Rusty's tree because of the prerequisites. James, can I get your Acked-by?
