Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 09:08:15 +0000 Message-ID: <816.974797695@redhat.com> Sender: owner-mtd@infradead.org List-ID: OK, I've just merged the inter_module_xxx changes from 2.4 as I said I was going to do last week - yes it took me over a week to do it because I got distracted and fixed PCMCIA in 2.4 instead. This will break the build on 2.2 if you don't have Keith's inter_module_xxx patch applied. But you had to apply a patch anyway to make put_module_symbol() work. Hopefully, it'll end up in 2.2.1[89] and we'll all be happy. 2.2.17 and above also contain the new module_init() code so I've (at least partially) carried out my threat to stop maintaining the initcalls. If you care, fix it. If you care and don't have CVS write access, send me a SSH public key. Note that a handful of drivers now ought to put the module_init() version inside #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= 0x20211 instead of 0x20300 My current plan is to give Linus a selective update of the MTD code some time early in the 2.4 series. In it, I'm intending to include: - mtdpart stuff - New mtdblock - New NFTL - New DiskOnChip driver, _preferably_ with DOC_SINGLE_DRIVER - API changes - set_vpp() and anything else that's momentarily slipped my notoriously vague attention. - Any new map drivers which are appropriate - probably the SA1100 one. - New CFI code iff it actually works next time I try it on my boards :) Speak up if there's something missing which you think ought to be included, or alternatively if there's something in there which you think I ought to omit. -- dwmw2 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
