Hi all, After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig) failed like this: net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1228: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_tunnel_closeall causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1228: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_tunnel_closeall causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1006: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_xmit_core causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1006: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_xmit_core causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:847: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_udp_recv_core causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:847: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_udp_recv_core causes a section type conflict Caused by commit fc130840d75d42c5a360fd1d8b72489eec09cad3 ("l2tp: make local function static") since these functions are now static (and should not be exported). I wish doing that caused a build failure on other architectures ... I applied the following patch: From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 14:16:53 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: static functions should not be exported Causes these build failures on PowerPC: net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1228: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_tunnel_closeall causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1228: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_tunnel_closeall causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1006: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_xmit_core causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:1006: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_xmit_core causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:847: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_udp_recv_core causes a section type conflict net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c:847: error: __ksymtab_l2tp_udp_recv_core causes a section type conflict Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c | 3 --- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c b/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c index 5fb4803..c64ce0a 100644 --- a/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c +++ b/net/l2tp/l2tp_core.c @@ -844,7 +844,6 @@ error: return 1; } -EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(l2tp_udp_recv_core); /* UDP encapsulation receive handler.
