** Build error with 8.4.11 on el8 (one example)

drbd_wrappers.h:211:57: error: 'MS_RDONLY' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'IS_RDONLY'?
  return open_bdev_excl(path, (mode & FMODE_WRITE) ? 0 : MS_RDONLY, holder);
                                                         ^~~~~~~~~
                                                         IS_RDONLY

Note: MS_RDONLY was previously defined in include/uapi/linux/fs.h
      in the el8 kernel it is defined in include/uapi/linux/mount.h

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fsdevel/patch/153313707094.13253.9967026191676513298.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk/
Only the mount namespace code that implements mount(2) should be using the
MS_* flags. Suppress them inside the kernel unless uapi/linux/mount.h is
included.

** Build error with 8.4.12 on el8 (one example)

asm/kmap_types.h: No such file or directory

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6964004
Kindly reach out to vendor of module source to provide source code compatible with RHEL8.6
commit d7029e4549691ecaf1ead536d3322a00bda85659
Author: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Nov 3 10:27:30 2020 +0100

    highmem: Get rid of kmap_types.h

    The header is not longer used and on alpha, ia64, openrisc, parisc and um
    it was completely unused anyway as these architectures have no highmem
    support.

Additional note for <el8>

Building the source code from kernel-4.19.267 also fails with many errors.

 <<< Misc notes >>>

- drbd-8 was merged into kernel long time ago.
- Upgrading this to drbd-9 will not happen in a foreseeable future.
  ( https://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2022-December/026348.html )

- How to find the drbd version

* in elrepo kmods:
[source tree]/drbd/linux/drbd_config.h
#define REL_VERSION "9.1.7"
REL_VERSION := $(shell sed -ne '/^\#define REL_VERSION/{s/^[^"]*"\([^ "]*\).*/\1/;p;q;}' drbd/linux/drbd_config.h)

* in-kernel:
include/linux/drbd.h
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/include/linux/drbd.h

Note: drbd devs are going to change the name 'drbd.h' to 'drbd_config.h'

"To be more similar to what we do in the out-of-tree module and ease the
upstreaming process.

-#include <linux/drbd.h>
+#include <linux/drbd_config.h>
"
