The patch titled
aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devices
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
aoe-user-can-ask-driver-to-forget-previously-detected-devices.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devices
From: "Ed L. Cashin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device
is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote
device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling
the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices.
Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE
devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until
the I/O attempt times out.
