Neil,

Good read! I don't know if it's important to have a list of all affected 
kernels, but as a Gentoo user, know that it affects at least the 
unstable branch, but I would not be surprised if it even affects the 
stable hardened kernel. I run those on my servers and may have noticed 
that behavior on my arrays as well.

Thanks.

It would be useful adding other kernels, but only where a vendor has
backported the offending patch to an earlier release, and then I'd want
actual release numbers from the vendor.

So if you could show me how to decode the gentoo kernel package information
so I could see exactly what patches were in which release I could work out
the release numbers from that ....

Thanks,
NeilBrown

At the suggestion of Mikael Abrahamsson I have written

discussing this bug in detail.

I'll probably post the whole thing to Linux RAID tomorrow, which a better
subject line.
