Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the block tree

Hi Jens,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c: In function 'mtd_blktrans_cease_background':
drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:127: error: implicit declaration of function 'elv_queue_empty'

Caused by commit 7eaceaccab5f ("block: remove per-queue plugging")
interacting with commit c7519dbf6f4b ("mtd_blkdevs: Add background
processing support") from the mtd tree.

I have no idea how to fix this up, so I have reverted the above commit
from them mtd tree (along with commits a32159024620 "mtd: Add mtdswap
block driver" and 89d8d32060de "mtd: fix printf format warnings, mostly
lack of %zd for size_t, in mtdswap" that depend on it).

Jens, maybe you could advise the mtd guys.

Can you point me at the commit in question? Generally, elv_queue_empty()
can be replaced by blk_peek_request().

The interesting commit is this one:
http://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6.git/commitdiff/c7519dbf6

The point of it is to enable this

OK, can you commit a change just changing that to blk_peek_request()?
That'll avoid the conflict.

I am still reverting those three commits from the mtd tree ... David, I
assume that you are going to want to ask Linus to merge the mtd tree at
some point soon?
