Message-Id: <1201872332265-git-send-email-Laurent.Vivier@bull.net>
Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2008 14:25:32 +0100
From: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@...l.net>

Subject: [PATCH] Allow NBD to be used locally
This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally.
It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools documentation.
So, if nbd-client hangs waiting pages, the kblockd thread can continue its
work and free pages.
Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@...l.net>
