...d the last time some were supported was CentOS 5.2. At any rate, I have just managed to build 1.8 of rr232x successfully, and am building filesystems on the drive as I type. I d/l the compressed tarballs from HighPoint's site. The changes to make it compile were: 1. /* if (bdev && blkdev_get(bdev, FMODE_READ, 0 __BDEV_RAW)==0) { # Above for < 2.6.28 */ if (bdev && blkdev_get(bdev, FMODE_READ)==0) { Note that the last two parms from the original call were removed. 2. /* blkdev_put(bdev __BDEV_RAW); (or, in another case, just BDEV_RAW) # above < 2.6...

Hi Jens, this series removes the revalidate_disk() function, which has been a really odd duck in the last years. The prime reason why most people use it is because it propagates a size change from the gendisk to the block_device structure. But it also calls into the rather ill defined ->revalidate_disk method which is rather useless for the callers. So this adds a new helper to just

This is an attempt to fix the issue that some disks' sysfs attributes are not ready at the time its KOBJ_ADD event is sent. The symptom is during device hotplug, udev may fail to find certain attributes, such as serial or wwn, of the disk. As a result the /dev/disk/by-id entries are not created. The cause is device_add_disk emits the uevent before returning, and the callers have to create
