I don't see how this is related to the rest of the seris. I also don't think it's a good idea. The APIs isn't deprecated per se. It just should not be called by drivers. The right thing would be an interface like EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR(bdev_disk_changed, loop.ko, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP); EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR(bdev_disk_changed, dasd_mod.ko, CONFIG_DASD); with the modulo code enforcing that no one but the module this is explicitly exorted for can use the symbol. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
