Tony fixed this ages ago? : commit 4fafc8c21487f6b5259d462e9bee98661a02390d : Author: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> : Date: Wed Nov 7 15:51:04 2012 -0800 : : [IA64] Resolve name space collision for cache_show() : : We have a local static function named rather generically : "cache_show()". Changes in progress in the slab code want : to use this same name globally - so they are adding their : declaration to <linux/slab.h> which then causes the compiler : to choke with: : : arch/ia64/kernel/topology.c:278: error: conflicting types for 'cache_show' : : Fix by adding an "ia64_" prefix to our local function. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
