Subject: Commit 02a5e0acb3cb85d80d0fe834e366d38a92bbaa22 might break kernel build
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 01:28:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070913232856.GE5764@devil> (raw)

Due to commit 02a5e0acb3cb85d80d0fe834e366d38a92bbaa22
kernel build is broken if (CONFIG_COMPAT && ! CONFIG_BLOCK):

  CC      fs/compat_ioctl.o

                 from include/linux/raid/md.h:54,

make[1]: *** [fs/compat_ioctl.o] Error 1
make: *** [fs] Error 2


So either revert that commit or better apply the attached patch to fix it.


Regards,

Fix kernel compilation if CONFIG_COMPAT is selected but CONFIG_BLOCK is not.
This is needed due to commit
