There is a leftover wakeup_bdflush(0) in sysrq.c, I guess
 it should be wakeup_bdflush(). Well at least it builds
 after the above fix :)

I get:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/src/linux-2.4/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686    -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c sysrq.c

sysrq.c:234: too many arguments to function `wakeup_bdflush'
make[3]: *** [sysrq.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/src/linux-2.4/drivers/char'

Seems this patch to drivers/char/sysrq.c should not be in:

 static void sysrq_handle_mountro(int key, struct pt_regs *pt_regs,
                struct kbd_struct *kbd, struct tty_struct *tty) {
        emergency_sync_scheduled = EMERG_REMOUNT;
-       wakeup_bdflush();
+       wakeup_bdflush(0);
 }

What exactly do you want to fix with this patch?

	That changes 'R/0' (R slash Zero) to R/O (R slash O).
	I think 'Read-Only' is what is meant in this 'action_msg'
	and is probably better represented with 'R/O' than 'R/0'.

Sorry for asking. I could not determine the difference in my on-screen font.

If you look closely you'll see that he changed '0' to 'O'.

Disclaimer: It ain't my patch :) .
But it looks like the old version used a "0" (zero) in R/O, and the new
version uses an "O" (oh).
