Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode
 and ext4_writepages

Oops, This build error log is genereated when building ext4 filesystem as a module and
this is originated from that "percpu_free_rwsem()" function was not defined as an exported
function.

Could I define the "percpu_free_rwsem()" function as an exported function directly in this patch?
Or do I have to request the maintainer of percpu_rwsem to do this?

Thank you in advance. :-)
