Comment 20 for bug 554398

It might be worth noting that the issues with mvsas / SATA disks are especially notable with md raid sets. Also from what I've seen in posts XFS filesystem on the drives (when they're not in raid) seems to trigger the issue a lot.

Anyways my question basically is 2 folded:

I'd like to know what patches (if any) from the SCSI mailing list are included by ubuntu in the current 10.10's kernel?
If they're not yet all included, are they going to be?

I'm not afraid to build/patch kernels myself, I've just not done it with ubuntu before and thus don't know any specifics I might have to consider (for example, I never need to use initrd's because I include all drivers required at boot, also don't know how to tell ubuntu properly what my kernel is so it won't just overwrite grub with the next update and grub2's config seems to differ a lot from v1). Build kernels on gentoo regularly, but it has the large advantage that if a package requires a certain kernel feature and doesn't detect it in /usr/src/linux/.config it gives a note about it being required.
