[resend with fixed vger address :-) ] Len Brown pointed out that allmodconfig is broken for ia64 because of: arch/ia64/kvm/vmm.c: In function 'vmm_spin_unlock': arch/ia64/kvm/vmm.c:70: error: 'spinlock_t' has no member named 'raw_lock' This is fall-out from the ia64 switch to ticket locks. I'm not sure why KVM needs to implement its own locking mechanisms ... if it does need to roll its own, it should not depend on the base kernel spinlock_t type.
It does, parts of the ia64 vmm run in guest context.
One possible solution is to just have KVM define its own vmm_spinlock_t type (see patch below).
Looks good. Changelog/signoff?
Or perhaps this code needs to implement ticket locks?
This will do for now, I believe. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
