Hi Heinz,

is there a chance you could inline the relevant parts of the changelog in the next (-rc4/final) announcment?

Christoph

Whip me.  Beat me.  Make me maintain AIX.

I would also like to see the changes in the announcement, like Alan and Linus do it. TIA.

I change two programs to run under linux.2.4.10-ac4

I don't if this is correct. I test on my machine a believe it's working

This is my corrections:

on lvm.c

line 457

     /* insert our gendisk at the corresponding major */
        /*
        if (gendisk_head != NULL) {
                gendisk_ptr = gendisk_head;
                while (gendisk_ptr->next != NULL &&
                       gendisk_ptr->major > lvm_gendisk.major) {
                        gendisk_ptr = gendisk_ptr->next;
                }
                lvm_gendisk.next = gendisk_ptr->next;
                gendisk_ptr->next = &lvm_gendisk;
        } else {
                gendisk_head = &lvm_gendisk;
                lvm_gendisk.next = NULL;
        }
        */

        add_gendisk(&lvm_gendisk);

line 515

        /*
        gendisk_ptr = gendisk_ptr_prev = gendisk_head;
        while (gendisk_ptr != NULL) {
                if (gendisk_ptr == &lvm_gendisk)
                        break;
                gendisk_ptr_prev = gendisk_ptr;
                gendisk_ptr = gendisk_ptr->next;
        }*/
        /* delete our gendisk from chain */
        /*
        if (gendisk_ptr == &lvm_gendisk)
                gendisk_ptr_prev->next = gendisk_ptr->next;*/

        del_gendisk(&lvm_gendisk);

on lvm-snap.c

add line 53
int kio_max_sectors = KIO_MAX_SECTORS;

change all functions alloc_kiovec(a,b) by alloc_kiovec(a,b,&kio_max_sectors) at lines 518 and 527.

change all functions free_kiovec(a,b) by free_kiovec(a,b,&kio_max_sectors) at lines 543, 548, 573 and 580

My changes are correct?

Any help?

Thanks

Andre
