Hi All,

I have patched my linux 2.1.46 to 2.1.47, patch taken from
ftp.kernel.org.

I have encoutered some errors, about vfat and pnp_parport.
Some vfat functions called in namei.c, are still in old format,
i.e. doesn't support struct dentry, they are (from msdos_fs.h)

extern int vfat_create(struct inode *dir,struct dentry *dentry,int mode);
extern int vfat_unlink(struct inode *dir,struct dentry *dentry);
extern int vfat_mkdir(struct inode *dir,struct dentry *dentry,int mode);
extern int vfat_rmdir(struct inode *dir,struct dentry *dentry);
extern int vfat_rename(struct inode *old_dir,struct dentry *old_dentry,
struct inode *new_dir,struct dentry *new_dentry);

in fs/vfat/namei.c they are:

static int vfat_create(struct inode *dir, const char *name,
int len, int mode, struct inode **result)

etc...

This about VFAT...

Another error is about pnp_parport... the driver about parport is
moved in drivers/misc from drivers/pnp.
But there is in genhd.c an old call for pnp_parport_init, that
in new file (drivers/misc/parport_init.c) doesn't exist.

there is a patch for these???

I saw recalls about 2.1.48 patch, but I did'n see on ftp.kernel.org
or ftp.cs.helsinki.fi... where is it?

thanks in advance,
Fausto
