Hi Jens, Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: drivers/md/dm.c: In function 'dm_merge_bvec': drivers/md/dm.c:976: error: 'struct request_queue' has no member named 'max_hw_sectors' Caused by commit 025146e13b63483add912706c101fb0fb6f015cc ("block: Move queue limits to an embedded struct") from the block tree interacting with commit c8f4b88baca86491a6125cf9373a75e04b22ff8b ("dm-avoid-unsupported-spanning-of-md-stripe-boundaries") from the device-mapper tree. Another sudden API change ... The correct way: add new accessor implemented in terms of old API that is a noop push that to Linus fixup all the references to the old API (telling the users) wait for other users (if any) to use new accessor remove old API We have done this several times ... Linus is will to take the "add new accessor" patches basically any time. So I added this patch: diff --git a/drivers/md/dm.c b/drivers/md/dm.c index 7b939fa..ea9a9e6 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm.c @@ -973,7 +973,7 @@ static int dm_merge_bvec(struct request_queue *q, * entries.
