Jens,

please pull from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/floppy.git upstream

to receive 3 patches for the floppy driver. The first one fixes a number
of races, which never exposed themselves on real floppy hardware, but are
triggering a lot on virtualized/emulated floppy drives. The second one
makes handling of O_EXCL on /dev/fd0 more consistent with other block
devices (and actually fixes a userspace-visible regression). The third one
adds myself as an unhappy maintainer, as discussed here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/16/370

The 'upstream' branch is based on your 'for-3.5/drivers' branch.

Thanks!

Jiri Kosina (3):
floppy: convert to delayed work and single-thread wq
floppy: remove floppy-specific O_EXCL handling
floppy: take over maintainership
