Kernel 2.4.14

[1.] The module loop.o has an unresolved dependency: deactivate_page()
[2.] If I compile the module loop.o as a module it compiles fine,but then it
has un unresolved dependency: deactivate_page(). This function once was in
the source file mm/swap.c, but in the kernel 2.4.14 it disappeared. I know
the function existed in the kernel 2.4.10.
[3.] module, deactivate_page(), loop.o, swap.c

[8.] The function deactivate_page() is not defined elsewhere. What have I to
do for having the loop block device?
