New stable device-mapper patches for 2.4.19 are available: http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/patches/2.4-stable/ Changes ------- Revision 1: 2.5 backport Revision 2: The locking when leaving __request was broken. Split off __deferring() Revision 3: s->table wasn't being set in the snapshot contructor Revision 4: I don't know why dm-ioctl.c was including <linux/compatmac.h> rather than <asm/uaccess.h> Revision 5: Four constants: DM_DIR, DM_MAX_TYPE_NAME, DM_NAME_LEN, DM_UUID_LEN Were being declared in device-mapper.h, these are all specific to the ioctl interface, so they've been moved to dm-ioctl.h. Nobody in userland should ever include <linux/device-mapper.h> so remove ifdef __KERNEL guards. Revision 6: No need to validate the parameters if we are doing a REMOVE_ALL command. Revision 7: Fluff Revision 8: Mempool version by Christoph Hellwig that holds the free objects in an array rather than a list. This prevents the objects getting dirtied, eg, people maybe expecting them to come out of a slab with a particular state. Revision 9: Return -ENOTBLK if lookup_device() finds the inode, but it is not a block device. [Cristoph Hellwig] Revision 10: get_kdev() was locking _minor_lock rather than &_minor_lock.
