Re: V4L hg tree fails to compile against kernel 2.6.28

Thanks for your help. I pulled the code

Actually, now the function definition in compat.h causes a compilation error: see first text below.

I fixed that by inserting
#include <linux/err.h>
at line 38 in compat.h in my local branch

After that, compilation succeeds.

Now, the device will not install, as dvb_usb cannot install anymore.
see second text below.

Therefore, I have replaced the __kmalloc_track_caller with kmalloc (as it was in dvb_demux.c before the change 2ceef3d75547 at line 49

can you make both changes in the hg branch ?

On compiling with  Linux  2.6.28-19-generic #62-Ubuntu

I now get:

dvb_demux.c: In function 'dvbdmx_write':
dvb_demux.c:1137: error: implicit declaration of function 'memdup_user'
dvb_demux.c:1137: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a

This is probably due to changeset 2ceef3d75547

which introduced the use of this function:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/diff/2ceef3d75547/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_demux.c

This function is not available in linux/string.h in kernel 2.6.29 and lower.

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/string.h?v=2.6.28

Could you please advise me on what to do ?

For this issue, I have fixed right now, please try again with a
updated repository. But since I have commited several patches
yesterday,
we have another one that probably will reach your compilantion (the
kfifo one). I will work to fix this one too.

Thanks for the report.

Cheers
Douglas
