If so some channels are not available as generic hwmon inputs. Looks good to me, applied to my for-next branch. Now that we're at it, could we then ... 2 Aug 2010 07:03

[PATCH 3/8] GFS2: Simplify gfs2_write_alloc_required
From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso(a)redhat.com> Function gfs2_write_alloc_required always returned zero as its return code. Therefore, it doesn't need to return a return code at all. Given that, we can use the return value to return whether or not the dinode needs block allocations rather than passing that value in, ... 2 Aug 2010 07:03

This reverts commit b7dc2df5725fe7355fd76000ead7e39728e1b8a9. The initial patch didn't quite work since it doesn't cover all the possible routes by which the GLF_FROZEN flag might be set.

[PATCH 2/8] GFS2: Wait for journal id on mount if not specified on mount command line
This patch implements a wait for the journal id in the case that it has not been specified on the command line. This is to allow the future removal of the mount.gfs2 helper. The journal id would instead be directly communicated by gfs_controld to the file system. Here is a comparison of the two systems: Current:... 2 Aug 2010 07:03

[PATCH 8/8] GFS2: Fix recovery stuck bug (try #2)
