I am using the io_request_lock as you mentioned below.
The another problem is that, when I build the driver for SMP,
and when I try to load it, I get a bunch of undefined symbols.
To get rid of this undefined symbols warnings and to make the
loading of the module work, I have to re-compile the kernel
with "set version information" option disabled. How do I make
my module loadable on the kernel compiled with "set version information"
option enabled ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
