[Devil-linux-develop] kernel

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

I'm contemplating if we should switch back to the latest and greatest  
kernel again. This may have some impact on stability and of course  
we'll sometimes have to wait for a patch to come out.

The benefit would be having the latest and greatest drivers available.

Thoughts?

I like the latest and greatest.  At least close to the latest and greatest
as possible.

I'm not sure what you mean by impact on stability.  Is the latest kernel
more or less stable?

Hey,

the 2.6.32.x serious was declared the long term stable and only bug  
fixes are added. Newer kernel have newer code, which of course "could"  
introduce bugs.

Heiko,

I'm fine with it.

I live on .38.6 now and it looks fine. The possible problems are:
- imq patch
- grsec & aufs incompatibility.

Hey,

I got most of the issues resolved, except aoe6:

----------
/data/build/tmp/aoe6-76/linux/drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c: In function
'aoe_end_request':
/data/build/tmp/aoe6-76/linux/drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c:1171: error:
implicit declaration of function '__generic_unplug_device'
make[2]: *** [/data/build/tmp/aoe6-76/linux/drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.o]
Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/data/build/tmp/aoe6-76/linux/drivers/block/aoe] Error
2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/build/tmp/linux-2.6.38'
-----------
Any ideas anyone?

The kernel I'm using is 2.6.38.7

Re: [Devil-linux-develop] kernel

[Serge L. <ser...@gm...>]

Heiko,

I'll send you a fix shortly. The problem is in the function definition, which is 
how in linux-2.6.38/block/blk.h. So the only thing we need is add "#include 
.../block/blk.h" statement into "aoe6-76/linux/drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c".

I hear that kernel 2.8 may be out soon.  :-)

quick and dirty - hopefully it will be irrelevant for .39
