Hi Andrew,
After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
mm/page_alloc.c:184:14: error: conflicting types for 'pageblock_order'
unsigned int pageblock_order __read_mostly;
^
In file included from include/linux/mmzone.h:17:0,
from include/linux/gfp.h:5,
from include/linux/mm.h:9,
from mm/page_alloc.c:18:
include/linux/pageblock-flags.h:47:12: note: previous declaration of 'pageblock_order' was here
extern int pageblock_order;
^
Caused by commit
b3c625d32a04 ("mm: use 'unsigned int' for page order")
I assume that this was never built with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE
set (or the hunk that updated include/linux/pageblock-flags.h was missed).
I have added the following fix patch for today:
