I'm leaving for vacations in 5 minutes so hopefully this will compile
for everybody ;) [I know, mylex still doesn't compile without backing
out the elevator-lowlatency patch but I hadn't time to fix it yet], I'll
be back online on 3 Jan.

diff between 2.4.21pre2aa1 and 2.4.21pre2aa2:

Only in 2.4.21pre2aa1: 10_rawio-vary-io-15
Only in 2.4.21pre2aa2: 10_rawio-vary-io-16

Fix compilation.

Hmm. Where is init_one_highpage() defined?


Thanks,
Bill


$ grep -nr init_one_highpage .
./arch/i386/mm/discontig.c:47:extern void init_one_highpage(struct page *, int, int);
./arch/i386/mm/discontig.c:297: init_one_highpage((struct page *) (zone_mem_map + node_pfn), zone_start_pfn + node_pfn, bad_ppro);
Binary file ./arch/i386/mm/discontig.o matches
Binary file ./arch/i386/mm/mm.o matches

I assumed it got dropped while upgrading to new mainline trees, Marcelo
merged parts of the arch init cleanup and probably init_one_highpage was
missing from those patches merged in mainline despite most other things
were present. Thanks for the info (I will now go find where it was lost).

Perhaps it is just a mutant ?

vi +449 arch/i386/mm/init.c

BTW, could you apply this, to get in sync with 2.5 ?
