Hi, I'm new to kernel development. I'm trying to modify the block layer code and add some new functionality to it. The problem I'm facing now, block layer code is an integral part of the kernel and it gets compiled with kernel. Is there any way that I can isolate the the block layer code and compile as a separate module for development so that every time I make code changes I don't have to recompile the block layer along with kernel and and reboot the system ? In summary I'm trying to understand how can someone create a block layer development setup ? where I can just treat entire block layer code as one standalone codebase and should be able to make/insmod/rmmod it as I make code changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
