2.4.14 - loop.c uses "deactivate_page" that seems not to be defined

[Martial MICHEL]

	I just  downloaded  2.4.14 and tried to   compile it (using  a
"make oldconfig"  out of the config  file from my old 2.4.8-ac12, then
"make menuconfig") and the kernel seems not to  be able to link ("make
install", after a normal "make dep") :

--------------------
ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.14/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \
        --start-group \
        arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \

        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux
drivers/block/block.o: In function `lo_send':
drivers/block/block.o(.text+0x8843): undefined reference to `deactivate_page'
drivers/block/block.o(.text+0x88c8): undefined reference to `deactivate_page'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
--------------------

After doing a little  research the only place  where `deactivate_page'
exists is inside the `./drivers/block/loop.c` file (lines 210 and 221)
and  is  not defined  anywhere  else (seems to  me  it may  have to be
defined in "kernel/ksyms.c", but it  is not). [For  now I does compile
without loopback device.]

My architecture is SMP PII, with 1Gb of memory. If asked I can provide
the .config file used (please  send me an e-mail directly  as I am not
on this ML).

					Hope this helps,
