Yep... the link order is important isn't it.
At least three pairs of eyes looked and the changes to xor and no of
us spotted this dependancy - just shows how important beta testers are
- thanks.
The following patch changes the link order in the Makefile so that xor
is initiailised before md tries to autostart anything.
It also takes the theme a bit further and uses module_init/module_exit
to init and shutdown the raid personalities. This allows us to remove
the explicit calls to raidXX_init from md.c, which is nice.
I have tested this patch both
1/ monolithic kernel and autodetecting an array
2/ md and all personalities modules
and it works fine.
It reduced the "#ifdef" count of the kernel by 8, which must be a good
thing :-)
