Also put the extern declarations of global > functions into a header file. The problem looks like a circular dependency betwen BLK_CGROUP and CFQ. The Kconfig dependencies doesn't express that blk-cgroup also calls into cfq, so you can't have cfq=m (cfq doesn't even export those functions). It looks pretty messy, to be honest. I'll see if I can fix it up. > I have used the version of the block tree from next-20091203 for today. Thanks. -- Jens Axboe
