[linux-lvm] How to create a device mapper patch?

[linux-lvm] How to create a device mapper patch?

[wim]

Hello,

I tried to find out to make a patch for my kernel , 2.4.22,
but there seems to be no documentation available how
to generate a device mapper kernel patch. 
From the INSTALL file:
---
If your kernel does not already contain device-mapper, patch,
   configure and build a new kernel with it
----
Now this is nice , but doesn't explain how to generate a patch
for the kernel. The patches directory only contains patches
for 2.4.20 en 21 so, how do I generate a patch for 2.4.22?
Device mapper is version 1.00.05

TIA

WB

http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/patch-2.4.22-dm-1.00.05.diff.bz2

this is a rediffed version of the 2.4.21 patches:
	-mempool.patch
	-vcalloc.patch
	-o_direct.patch
	-b_private.patch
	-config.patch
	-devmapper.patch
	-makefile.patch
	-arch64.patch

released with the dm-1.00.05 tarball, nevertheless,
the version major/minor/pl is 4.0.4 whatever this means ...

HTH,
Herbert

Does patching this into 2.4.22 fail for you ?

Ye, thanks , the following link is allso good :
http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/patches/
Would be good to add this link in the README
or INSTALL files in the standard device-mapper
package for people searching for patches.

Thanks
