[Pvfs2-users] Kernel Module - Compilation error

[Number Cruncher]

Hope I haven't caused unnecessary confusion: the latest CVS "configure" 
and source for 1.4.0 compiles kmod fine, but insmod then fails because 
of update_atime() missing; it's only the "configure" from 1.4.0 which 
prevents kmod compiling.

I suppose I'm looking for a quick fix which gets the kmod compiled for 
2.6.16 without having to resort to pre-release CVS - i.e. a configure 
patch + 1.4.0 source.
