Today I tried to compile arla 0.35.5 for a Linux 2.4.7 kernel and
encounterd a problem.

In xfs/linux/xfs_dev.c arla want's to write to:

current->dumpable = 1;

This staement does not compile with the new Linux kernel since

linux/include/linux/sched.h

is changed. The variable "dumpable" moved from "task_struct" to
"mm_struct". Since "task_struct" includes two pointers to "mm_struct" it
is not clear to me which "dumpable" variable will take over.
