2.5.5-pre1 and rd.c

[Frank Jacobberger]

Trying a make bzImage netted this nice little problem:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.4/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common 
-pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686   -DKBUILD_BASENAME=rd  -c -o 
rd.o rd.c
rd.c: In function `rd_make_request':
rd.c:271: too many arguments to function
make[3]: *** [rd.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.4/drivers/block'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.4/drivers/block'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_block] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.4/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Frank

I would have sworn I merged that with axboe.

Delete the second argument to the function, that should fix it.

You did, apparently Linus never did the pull on that one. I'll make sure
it gets pushed again :)
