[Drbd-dev] DRBD svn and 2.6.16

[Drbd-dev] DRBD svn and 2.6.16

[Joe Ammond]

I've been using the latest SVN code of DRBD under Xen-unstable
for the past couple of months with good results. However, the
Xen tree recently switched kernels to 2.6.16-rc2, which appears
to have introduced incompatibilities with DRBD. When compiling,
drbd_receiver.c fails:


[root@rc-xen0-04 drbd]# make 
    Calling toplevel makefile of kernel source tree, which I believe is
in
    KDIR=/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc2-xen/build

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.16-rc2-xen/build SUBDIRS=/root/drbd/trunk/drbd

From the little debugging I've done, it appears to be related
to the I/O barriers changes. Before I dig into the code, are
there any patches already to support this?
