Hi Madhu,
Thank you for your followup. I think both of these patches look OK, so
please feel free to add my:
Signed-off-by: Nicholas A. Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>
Also let me know if you prefer these to be carried for the next series
in lio-core-2.6.git/lock_less-LLDs-for-38-v4, or if you would rather
these be picked up by James directly.
Best Regards,
--nab
