Hi, where do these come from?
fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c: In function ‘__ext4_handle_dirty_metadata’:
fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c:218:2: error: implicit declaration of function
‘mark_buffer_meta’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
fs/ext4/ext4_jbd2.c:219:2: error: implicit declaration of function
‘mark_buffer_prio’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
