New stable device-mapper patches for 2.4.19 are available:
http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/patches/2.4-stable/
Changes
-------
Revision 1:
2.5 backport
Revision 2:
The locking when leaving __request was broken.
Split off __deferring()
Revision 3:
s->table wasn't being set in the snapshot contructor
Revision 4:
I don't know why dm-ioctl.c was including <linux/compatmac.h>
rather than <asm/uaccess.h>
Revision 5:
Four constants:
DM_DIR,
DM_MAX_TYPE_NAME,
DM_NAME_LEN,
DM_UUID_LEN
Were being declared in device-mapper.h, these are all specific to
the ioctl interface, so they've been moved to dm-ioctl.h. Nobody
in userland should ever include <linux/device-mapper.h> so remove
ifdef __KERNEL guards.
Revision 6:
No need to validate the parameters if we are doing a
REMOVE_ALL command.
Revision 7:
Fluff
Revision 8:
Mempool version by Christoph Hellwig that holds the free objects
in an array rather than a list. This prevents the objects getting
dirtied, eg, people maybe expecting them to come out of a slab with
a particular state.
Revision 9:
Return -ENOTBLK if lookup_device() finds the inode, but it
is not a block device. [Cristoph Hellwig]
Revision 10:
get_kdev() was locking _minor_lock rather than
&_minor_lock. [Heinz Mauelshagen]
