    Hi -

    I've been away for a little while, but now that I've upgraded from kernel
    2.2 to 2.4, I'm trying to port some modules that I use, without much luck
    as a fair amount of stuff has changed!

    Some functions/structure members that I'm currently drawing a blank when
    looking for equivalents in 2.4 are:

    superblock.notify_change
      (*is* there an equivalent any more?)

    namei()/__namei()
      (arrrgh! there were one or two vfs changes in 2.4, weren't there?! :)

    start_bh_atomic()/end_bh_atomic()

    Can anyone give me equivalents for these under 2.4, or better, a pointer to
    a page (or pages :) that describes the API changes in depth?

    That's about all for now as it's hard to work out what's causing the rest of
    the errors... :)

    Cheers,
    Alex.
