Hi John, Today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig) failed like this: drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c:1415: error: __ksymtab_iwl3945_rx_queue_reset causes a section type conflict I am pretty sure that this is a compiler bug, so not to worry. However, as far as I can see, iwl-3945.o (the only user) and iwl3945-base.o are always linked into the same module, so the EXPORT_SYMBOL (which causes the problem) should not be needed. Correct? I applied the following patch for today. This makes the above error go away and my x86_64 allmodconfig still builds. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:11:05 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] wireless: remove unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL the tickles a powerpc compiler bug Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c | 1 - 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c index 9c0779d..da2b3d1 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945-base.c @@ -1412,7 +1412,6 @@ void iwl3945_rx_queue_reset(struct iwl_priv *priv, struct iwl_rx_queue *rxq) rxq->free_count = 0; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&rxq->lock, flags); } -EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl3945_rx_queue_reset); /* * this should be called while priv->lock is locked -- 1.6.2.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
