Pkg xen devel - Sep 2016 - Bug#838477: blktap-dkms: module FTBS against Linux 4.8

Package: blktap-dkms
Version: 2.0.93-0.7
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu yakkety ubuntu-patch

Dear Maintainer,

starting with kernel 4.7 there have been some modifications to the block
layer which break the build of the DKMS module with those kernels.
The attached patch adds some compat code to allow the module to again
compile with the newer kernels.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Fix build problems with kernels 4.7 onwards. Various changes in the
    block device request queue interface (LP: #1625032).

Thanks for considering the patch.
