Message-Id: <1281721539.5839.4.camel@odc-laptop> Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:45:39 -0700 From: David Cross <david.cross@...ress.com> To: hirofumi@...l.parknet.co.jp Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, gregkh@...e.de Subject: EXPORT_SYMBOL(fat_get_block) Hello Hirofumi, I would like to export this symbol from the vfat code and add this patch to the Linux kernel. You are listed as the MAINTAINER for FAT and VFAT. As such, I need your approval to do it. The reason that I need to export this symbol is to allow for file based DMA in which the file needs to be pre-allocated. The pre-allocated block addresses are passed to a DMA engine which then directly transfers the data to non-volatile storage. Please let me know if you have any objections to exporting this symbol or if you need additional information from me concerning this change request. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have about this in the meantime.
