Hi all, After merging the net-next tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) failed like this: net/smc/af_smc.c: In function 'smc_splice_read': net/smc/af_smc.c:1258:39: error: passing argument 1 of 'smc->clcsock->ops->splice_read' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] rc = smc->clcsock->ops->splice_read(smc->clcsock, ppos, ^ net/smc/af_smc.c:1258:39: note: expected 'struct file *' but argument is of type 'struct socket *' net/smc/af_smc.c: At top level: net/smc/af_smc.c:1288:17: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] .splice_read = smc_splice_read, ^ net/smc/af_smc.c:1288:17: note: (near initialization for 'smc_sock_ops.splice_read') Caused by commit ac7138746e14 ("smc: establish new socket family") interacting with commit 15a8f657c71d ("switch socket ->splice_read() to struct file *") from the vfs tree. I applied the following merge fix patch which could well be incorrect ...
