[linux-lvm] Updated patch VFS-lock for 2.4.18+ XFS enabled kernels

Chris Mason,

I'm hoping that this linux-2.4.18+-xfs-VFS-lock.patch can be added to the 
PATCHES directory in the LVM CVS for those people that use both LVM and SGI's 
XFS filesystem.

When compiling an SGI XFS Kernel (both the official split patches and CVS)
 with the standard linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch the compile will fail because
 of an undefined macro DQUOT_SYNC().  The XFS project is currently ahead of
 Marcelo's mainline 2.4.x kernel with  respect to the new Quota code from
 Jan Kara.  LVM uses DQUOT_SYNC() to flush Quota changes to disk before
 locking the VFS for snapshot creation.  This patch is the standard
 linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch with DQUOT_SYNC() changed to the new Quota code
 DQUOT_SYNC_DEV().

For more information:

The SGI XFS project can be found here:
 http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

The new 2.4.x Quota code by Jan Kara can be found here:
 ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/v2.4/

The original email thread relating to this problem can be found here:
 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-lvm&m=101770214811117&w=2

This is against 2.4.18-xfs + lvm 1.0.4 or lvm 1.1rc1 and is _only_ relevent
 for XFS enabled kernels above 2.4.18-xfs until Jan Kara's new Quota code is
 accepted by Marcelo into the 2.4.x mainline kernel tree.

-Adrian

PS: I'm not officially associated with the SGI XFS project - just a happy
    LVM & XFS user.

Hello everyone,

When compiling an SGI XFS Kernel (both the official split patches and CVS) with
 the standard linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch the compile will fail because of an
 undefined macro DQUOT_SYNC().  The XFS project is currently ahead of  Marcelo's
 mainline 2.4.x kernel with  respect to the new Quota code from Jan Kara.
 LVM uses DQUOT_SYNC() to flush Quota changes to disk before locking the VFS for
 snapshot creation.  This patch is the standard linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch with
 DQUOT_SYNC() changed to the new Quota code DQUOT_SYNC_DEV().

For more information:

The SGI XFS project can be found here:

The new 2.4.x Quota code by Jan Kara can be found here:
