Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Update:

it appears this impacts more than just this specific release of fedora,
per bbrock at redhat.com:
"testing on LINUX_VERSION_CODE is very fragile, and this isn't just a
Fedora problem."

various 2.6.9 kernel patches vary as to wehter or not they have
implemented a number of features.

"You need to check for the presence of something before using it...
#ifdef TASK_ZOMBIE should do the trick."

might I propose:

$ diff drbd_in.h drbd_in.h-patched
1552c1552
< #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,10)
---
> #ifdef TASK_ZOMBIE

or maybe there is something even better?
