Lustre devel - Feb 2008 - 2.6.23 kernel struct file_operations sendfile

Hi,
In trying (just to see what happens) to build against patchless
2.6.23, I see that the
file_operations structure no longer has the sendfile field.  Has
anyone in the development
team thought of a way around this?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Alex,
great!, Thanks.
I''m having trouble finding a version of the source that the patch will
apply cleaning to.
I''ve tried releases 1.6.0.1, 1.6.3, 1.6.4.1, 1.6.4.2 and then, from
cvs, a checkout of a few days ago.
Could you please, perhaps give me a cvs tag that I can use? or some
other way to get a source tree (to apply the patch to) and then build
against patchless 2.6.23.12?
Thanks.

Hi Ron,

Patch created against sources from cvs - branch b1_6 date 20080116.
Patch tested for first with 2.6.23.8 and later with 2.6.24-rc8.

bugzilla. I''m will be fix in next patch version.
