There is a leftover wakeup_bdflush(0) in sysrq.c, I guess
it should be wakeup_bdflush(). Well at least it builds
after the above fix :)

I get:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/src/linux-2.4/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c sysrq.c

Seems this patch to drivers/char/sysrq.c should not be in:

static void sysrq_handle_mountro(int key, struct pt_regs *pt_regs,
struct kbd_struct *kbd, struct tty_struct *tty) {
emergency_sync_scheduled = EMERG_REMOUNT;
- wakeup_bdflush();
+ wakeup_bdflush(0);
}

What exactly do you want to fix with this patch?

That changes 'R/0' (R slash Zero) to R/O (R slash O).
I think 'Read-Only' is what is meant in this 'action_msg'
and is probably better represented with 'R/O' than 'R/0'.

If you look closely you'll see that he changed '0' to 'O'.

Sorry for asking. I could not determine the difference in my on-screen font.

Disclaimer: It ain't my patch :) .
But it looks like the old version used a "0" (zero) in R/O, and the new
version uses an "O" (oh).
