PATCH: linux-2.4.1/drivers/md.c unnecessarily referenced unexported symbol name_to_dev_t when md.c is built as module

2001-01-31 Thread Adam J. Richter
md_setup() in linux-2.4.1/drivers/md.c references name_to_kdev_t. Since name_to_kdev_t is not exported from the kenrel, this causes an undefined symbol problem when md is built as a module. However, md_setup is not used when md is a module. So, the correct fix is to make sure that md_set
