Subjectmsdos module missing sym on 2.1.63 (patch)
DateSat, 15 Nov 1997 12:48:18 +0100 (MET)

When trying the new 2.1.63 kernel, I found that the module for msdos failed
to load because of missing symbol shrink_dcache_parent.

Here's a (quick) hack to make it work:

+#ifndef shrink_dcache_parent
+#define shrink_dcache_parent(dentry) shrink_dcache_sb((dentry)->d_sb)
+#endif
+
/* MS-DOS "device special files" */

static const char *reserved_names[] = {
===== CUT HERE ====


Note: if the ext2 fs is to be compiled as module (who does???), it will also
fail on this missing shrink_dcache_parent. Same hack will work, but I'm not
able to test it.

Regards,
Frank.
