compile errors in 2.6.8.1 in drivers/md/*
hello folks...
hopefully i am right here... i just compiled a kernel 2.6.8.1 and two similar errors occurred:
drivers/md/dm-raid.c:1241 - the workqueue creation misses an argument. i have set the flag to 0.drivers/md/kcopyd.c:612 - the singlethread workqueue creation misses an argument. i have set the flag to 0.
the kernel compiles now, but i do not if it really is a fix. since the machine this kernel was compiled on, does not make use of a software raid, i cannot test it.
cheers,
sebastian

Are you building a stock 2.6.8.1 kernel? Could it be -mm or one of the other common extra patchsets? I don't see any compile warnings or errors anywhere in the drivers/md/ directory when I build my kernel, which is mostly a stock 2.6.8.1 with a few extra DM patches.

oops... you hit me here. when i read your post, a memory was crawling back into my mind. i already had this workqueue issue some months ago at another place. it happens due to SWSUSP2 modifying include/linux/workqueue.h so that the creation functions get one more argument. so SWSUSP2 should patch the two aforementioned files and not the linux-raid team.
sorry for the fuzz,
sebastian
