I write a driver in kernel,which use open_bdev_excl function to read block device
but when i build my driver,there are some error,as follow:
: ERROR： implicit declaration of function ‘open_bdev_excl’; did you mean ‘open_exec’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I check my kernel is kernel 4.9, is this function(open_bdev_excl) available in current kernel version?

3

Looks like didn’t include correct include file.

4

I searched this in 4.9.10 kernel source code,but i didn’t find it

5

Why need this API for a sensor driver? You may change an API that include in the kernel.

6

i need API for disk partition read/write in kernel space,because i set a specified partition ,and write a config yaml file to this partition with dd command in user space.i want to read this config yaml file in my kernel driver.

7

OK, you may need to make sure this API have include in the kernel space otherwise you may need other solution.
