X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc1~936^2~23 X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7dd5d34c6c2da04e8cd0732e08b33cd3359e4bae;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git [PATCH] md: remove inappropriate limits in md/bitmap configuration. The kernel should not be imposing these policy limits: The time between bitmap updates should certainly be allowed to be more than 15 seconds, and if someone wants a bitmap chunk size in excess of 4MB, the kernel isn't the place to stop them.
