I have update the Redhat beta kernel up to 1.3pre2, and added
linux-2.4.20-xfs-inode-init.patch
along with linux-2.4.20-xfs-nptl. However I am unable to add
linux-2.4.20-nolock_write.patch since it applies unclean. Is this bug
relative to O_Directe.

/BUILD/kernel-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/lib/lib.a --end-group -o
.tmp_vmlinux1
fs/fs.o(.text+0xa130c): In function `xfs_write':
: undefined reference to `generic_file_write_nolock'
make[1]: *** [kallsyms] Error 1
