<snip> This looks great but prevents kyber from being built as module, which is AFAIK supposed to work (and works now): .. CC [M] block/kyber-iosched.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 313 modules ERROR: "bio_attempt_back_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined! ERROR: "bio_attempt_front_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined! ERROR: "bio_attempt_discard_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined! ERROR: "blk_try_merge" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined! ERROR: "blk_rq_merge_ok" [block/kyber-iosched.ko] undefined! .. It does build fine when compiled in, obviously. :) cheers, Holger
