Patch? What/which patch? Can you elaborate a bit there?

Are you doing something other than the standard "make" in the
unarchived directory, maybe?

:-) I'd change that, then! As dar as I can see, the declaration is

   static inline int
   rq_type (struct request *req)

in the c file. I don't know what your .h file contains, but mine says
the same:

   static inline int rq_type(struct request *);

So change it to something else. Maybe your compiler doesn't like
"static inline"!

That's  (in the c file)

   static void
   rq_set_seqno (struct request *req, unsigned long val)

which looks quite inoccuous to me. and in the .h file it is

   static void rq_set_seqno(struct request *, unsigned long);

so that's consistent.

It looks to me as though your compiler has trouble with static inline
forward declarations at the head of code blocks. Move them outside. Or
change compiler.

Let me know what happens.
