Subject: Re: [PATCH V2] block: sysfs fix mismatched queue_var_{store,show}
 in 64bit kernel

Hello, Tejun:

     Thank you very much for the review, I've attached v3 patch follow 
your advices, please help me review.

     Another thing on block sysfs is that we can echo some invalid value 
(e.g 123abc), should sysfs return -EINVAL for those?

Regards
