2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jens Axboe commit b8a9ae779f2c7049071034661e09cb7e1e82250c upstream. Stacked devices do not. For now, just error out with -EINVAL. Later we could make the limit apply on stacked devices too, for throttling reasons. This fixes 5a54cd13353bb3b88887604e2c980aa01e314309 and should go into 2.6.31 stable as well.
