snapapi26 kernel module on kernel 2.6.18

[SangreNegra]

Hello,

i have some problems installing the snapapi26 kernel module v 0.0.7 for the true image server 9.1 on a system running kernel 2.6.18.

As is seems there has been a function called "set_wmb" got removed by the kernel developers.

Anybody aware of that problem and knows a solution?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Best regards Johannes

Ok guys, i guess it found something interesting regarding my problem:

Let's try to tweak the module sources and get around this very old function usage.

did you solved? Same problem here but there are many controls in snapapi26.c for set_wmb, I'm scared to simply remove them even after reading that the function after all don't make anything important in the kernel...

Hi floc,

yes i was able to fix the sources, it was really simple, thought it was a lot of work
I will attach the sources of snapapi26 as well as snumbd26 kernel module.
Make a diff to the originals to find out what i've changes, but nothing dramatically.
Just replaced set_wmb with clear variable value assignments and called set_wmb() with it's empty constructor after that.

Have fun with the modules!
