Include device mapper header files in the -devel packages
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. To support out-of-tree builds of dm modules, we need to sort out a cleaned-up interface and propose patches upstream to place suitable headers in the proper include directory. In other words some of the things in .h files under drivers/md should be replaced by things in include/linux. I don't just want the existing .h files moving because they are rather messy, and not everything in there should be published for external use. The logical groups of functions you need should be pulled out, documented very briefly, and put into new header files in include/linux. The upstream version of this may also include some minor renaming and/or function/parameter changes. |
