[PATCH 0/2] blk-throttle: Couple of more fixes

[Vivek Goyal]

Hi Jens,

Please find attached couple of more fixes for blk-throttle code. These are
based on top of "for-linus" branch of your block tree. 

Oleg had pointed out couple of race conditions in cgroup weight update code.
I think these race conditions are hard to hit and not disastrous so I would
not be too concerned about pushing these patches in 2.6.37 and can queue
up for 2.6.38.

Paul,

Based on discussion in other mail thread, I have used xchg() based
implementation for updating and processing limtis.  Can you please have a look
if it is correct implementation and do I need any ACCESS_ONCE() or barriers
somewhere. If this implementation is not correct then I can go back to atomic
variable based implementation as suggested by you in other mail thread.
Appreciate the help.

Thanks
Vivek
