Two small comments on pre-2.0.30:
1) EXT2 no-atime patch should use config.h and not autoconf.h as the
latter will cause mkdep to complain etc etc.
2) Putting CONFIG_<anything> in random.h is not a good idea. You don't know
if config.h has been included before random.h in all the places and mkdep
will probably complain about it. Putting include <config.h> at the
top of random.h is also not a good way to fix this, since there are
*lots* of drivers that include random.h but don't need config.h which
would then make a re-config recompile all of them for no reason.
Best to just stick the prototypes in without any surrounding #ifdef's.
Now that I've finished reading the patch, I'll try running it. :)
Regards,
Paul.
