Hi Al, After merging the vfs tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c:1852: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before 'int' arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c:1871: error: 'spufs_mfc_fsync' undeclared here (not in a function) Caused by commit 05b2fc7d1f1046fef1199e1a4d2f63df998ef3aa ("drop unused dentry argument to ->fsync"). My merge of the vfs tree was also bad because commit facd07b07d2a7988f5ce849558838cc953847637 ("direct-io: add a hook for the fs to provide its own submit_bio function") that entered Linus' tree in the past 24 hours changed the prototype of __blockdev_direct_IO() and that probably needs reflecting in the new __blockdev_direct_IO_newtrunc(). I have used the vfs tree from next-20100527 for today. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
