Hey Jens,

Please pull:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/blkfront

which has changes since git commit 8e10cd74342c7f5ce259cceca36f6eba084f5d58 Linus Torvalds (1):

    Linux 2.6.39-rc5

The git commit includes a bug-fix, and a set of patches to allow the blkfront driver to use 'feature-flush-cache' feature. The 'flush-cache' is basically the equivalent of the new REQ_FLUSH command (the old 'feature-barrier' is still present in the driver in case the backend supports that).

If you prefer for me to ask Linus to pull this git tree since it includes a patch to the include/xen/interface/.. directory - I can do that as long as you are OK with that.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (2):
xen-blkfront: Provide for 'feature-flush-cache' the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_FLUSH_CACHE operation.
xen-blkfront: Introduce BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE support.

Marek Marczykowski (1):
xen-blkfront: fix data size for xenbus_gather in blkfront_connect

I don't mind pulling it directly, that's fine. But you are based on 2.6.39-rc5, you should be based on for-2.6.40/drivers (or core) instead. If I pull the above, I end up getting all the changes from rc4..rc5 as well.

Easily fixed:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git for-jens/xen-blkfront

is now based on your for-2.6.40/drivers.

Ah, OK. Will make sure to check your for-2.6.40 in the future. Thanks!
