>> WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x3b49c): Section mismatch in reference from the function get_kmalloc_cache_name() to the (unknown reference) .init.rodata:(unknown)
The function get_kmalloc_cache_name() references
the (unknown reference) __initconst (unknown).
This is often because get_kmalloc_cache_name lacks a __initconst
annotation or the annotation of (unknown) is wrong.
yup, thanks.
Thanks for the fix.
I was going to implement Christoph's suggestion and export the whole structure
in mm/slab.h, but gcc was complaining that I'm redefining it, until I created a
typedef first. Is it worth the trouble? Below is how it would look like.
