Compile error during "make" on patched 2.6.23-r3 with Highpoint-tech
RocketRaid 2300 drivers.
Today I tried to upgrade the kernel on my server, with no luck.
The drivers for the Rocket Raid 2300 PCI express were patched onto the
2.6.23-r3-kernel, but it fails to compile while doing make with the
following error:
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC drivers/scsi/rr2310_00/os_linux.o
drivers/scsi/rr2310_00/os_linux.c: In function 'os_sd_changed':
drivers/scsi/rr2310_00/os_linux.c:315: error: implicit declaration
of function 'scsi_device_cancel'
make[3]: *** [drivers/scsi/rr2310_00/os_linux.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/rr2310_00] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
The same driver patched onto the 2.6.22 kernel compiles.
Is this a linux specific bug, or are the drivers from Highpoint-tech
simply outdated?
I.e should this bug report be sent to Highpoint tech instead?
The drivers may be downloaded at

The report should go to highpoint tech.
The Linux community is working on adding Highpoint 23xx support to the
standard sata_mv drivers, but HPT don't appear to document a lot of the
raid layout they use and hide it in a binary object module which makes it
somewhat problematic.
