Hi, as I am using only RAID5 I wonder why the RAID6 code also needs to be built. Here is a rough patch of making RAID6 optional (but depending on raid456) without reording of functions to minimize ifdef scattering. (I also haven't checked yet who needs ASYNC_MEMCPY and ASYNC_XOR...) It would probably be nicer to make RAID4/5 and RAID6 independently selectable of each other. But that requires more refactoring, as I can see.
Hm. In "old good days" there were 3 independent kernel modules, named raid4, raid5 and raid6. Later on, they got merged into one since they share quite alot of the code, and has only a few specific parts. Now you're trying to separate them back somewhat.... What's your goal? What's the problem you're trying to solve? /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
