Building btrfs as a dkms module on Debian

Hi everyone. I was trying to test a more recent version of btrfs on my = current kernel (2.6.37) using dkms, without success.

I followed these instructions:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories

- cloned the repo
- symlinked to /usr/src/btrfs-git
- patched version.sh:

Please note version.sh requires bash (better to change the shebang or f= ix the script).
Even with the patch, version.sh run on a shallow repository generates a=
"-dirty" version. I assume this is OK, even though there are no local =
changes.

- run version.sh
- dkms add -m btrfs -v git
- dkms build -m btrfs -v git fails with:

/var/lib/dkms/btrfs/git/build/extent-tree.c: In function =E2=80=98btrfs= _issue_discard=E2=80=99:
/var/lib/dkms/btrfs/git/build/extent-tree.c:1747: error: =E2=80=98BLKDE= V_IFL_WAIT=E2=80=99 undeclared (first use in this function) /var/lib/dkms/btrfs/git/build/extent-tree.c:1747: error: (Each undeclar= ed identifier is reported only once /var/lib/dkms/btrfs/git/build/extent-tree.c:1747: error: for each funct= ion it appears in.) /var/lib/dkms/btrfs/git/build/extent-tree.c:1747: error: =E2=80=98BLKDE= V_IFL_BARRIER=E2=80=99 undeclared (first use in this function)

I assume BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT/BARRIER was added in later kernels? Is there a way to make it build btrfs for 2.6.37?

Thanks

include/linux/blkdev.h:

#define BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT         (1 << BLKDEV_WAIT)
#define BLKDEV_IFL_BARRIER      (1 << BLKDEV_BARRIER)
#define BLKDEV_IFL_SECURE       (1 << BLKDEV_SECURE)

Maybe this is helpful.:)

I've worked more on this today. There was a lot of restructuring of blkdev in 2.6.38, but in stock 2.6.37 only BLKDEV_SECURE has any effect.

Just in case, I'm posting here the changes required to backport current btrfs to 2.6.37 (just a few minor changes).
