DMAPI as module (kernel compilation failure).

[Paul Blazejowski <paulb@blazebox.homeip.net>]

Hello folks,

I'm not sure if this has been answered on the list.Sorry if it was.

.config snip:

CONFIG_XFS_FS=y
CONFIG_XFS_RT=y
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y
CONFIG_XFS_DMAPI=m
CONFIG_HAVE_XFS_DMAPI=y

Building kernel 2.4.18 with CVS patch and DMAPI enabled as module (M)
gives this compilation error:

But when DMAPI is enabled (Y) in kernel, there's no problem with
compilation.Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks.
