Mailing list police?  If you do not see any purpose to these e-mails to
general, then feel free to delete them.

The fix is a simple 1 liner in pagemap.h consisting of: #define __grab_cache_page	grab_cache_page Since there is not a backport dir for this kernel, do we really want to add support for it this late in the OFED 1.4.1 release?  I have not done any NFSRDMA testing for this kernel.  So this could end up to be something that could delay the 1.41. release further.

The originator of this e-mail Cc'ed general (and Roland), and I thought
he might have a good reason for doing so.  If you look through the
history of my e-mails, you will not see me "spamming" general with
erroneous e-mails.  Please save the lectures for repeat offenders and do
it on an individual basis (and not spam yet another mailing list).

Thanks,
Jon
