Sorry I didn't follow, the problem for 4.9.297+ is when we are including
bug.h, it just include build_bug.h from backport-include.
Then in backport-include build_bug.h, the include_next is excluded so
the real build_bug.h from kernel tree is never included and thus those
macros supposed to be in build_bug.h can never work.


Ah! Now I understand. Hmm, don't think I have a solution off the top of
my head ...

Hi,

The LINUX_VERSION_CODE is fixed since 4.9.255, see here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=42efb098c75f9d4b95f7cf35d3d52e80cc2fde82

SUBLEVEL should still contains the minor kernel version number.

We could extend the macros in backport/backport-include/linux/version.h to check for SUBLEVEL manually if it overflows.
