Landed for 1.8.9 and 2.1.5

b2_1 patch:

[Nathaniel Clark]

Peter,

Yes. This patch can cleanly apply to b2_1 (all the way through master). It should be applied to anything we want to support rhel 5 on. Should I submit additional patches?

[Jian Yu]

Per http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/ENG/Lustre+2.1.4+release+testing+tracker, the issue still exists in Lustre 2.1.4, so we need the patch on the current b2_1 branch for Lustre 2.1.5.

[Peter Jones]

Nathaniel,

Is this patch needed for b2_1 also?

Patch to assume proc_dir_entry for rhel kernels: http://review.whamcloud.com/5439

[Zhenyu Xu]

Since recovery-small test_57 is intended to test proc removing while reading it, so the patch (review#5253) cannot avoid the hung of the test w/ patchless client build upon the hidden proc_dir_entry users kernels.

Since later kernels all use proc_dir_entry users, I think we can presume it and define LPROCFS_

{ENTRY,END}

empty ops.
