Hello Paul,
This adds include/linux/falloc.h to the list of files exported by the kernel to
the C library.
The include file is required for building e.g. a recent util-linux-ng against
2.6.24.
Starting from 2.6.25 a similar patch has been accepted upstream (the mainline
kernel). For 2.6.24, however, falloc.h is not exported although it's present.

Hmm, do you think it is OE only. As written in my other message I
consider this an upstream patch, which has been committed already.
upstream:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=040922c04cf2c8ac70be2e88a8a9614ecdb41d2e
comment: Patch is present in Linux kernel>= 2.6.25.
Technically, this upstreamed patch is not my patch. Upstream is way
older, it's from a different author, etc. Plus it's included in
successive kernel releases, but it's not in the version affected by my
patch. From my point of view my patch is an OE-only hack because it
back-ports to an older kernel version a different patch which originated
from OE (?) a long time ago and then went mainline.
I'll of course change this to your suggestion if this is a problem. I
did not do this yet so my patch won't get confused with the original one
that went mainline.
Regards,
Thilo
