Hi,

I need to upgrade a system (running drbd-8.4.3) to a newer kernel (because of an xfs_grow bug),
so I installed linux-3.9.4.

But linux-3.9.4 still contains the drbd-8.4.2 module, so I get the error message
> DRBD module version: 8.4.2
>    userland version: 8.4.3
> preferably kernel and userland versions should match.
while booting.

When I try to compile drbd-8.4.3 for linux-3.9.4, I get the following error:

(And I'm not prepared to experiment with drbd-9, yet, it's a two-machine setup,
  anyway...)

Is there a solution known for this?
