The patch titled fix static linking of NFS has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-static-linking-of-nfs.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: fix static linking of NFS From: David Brownell <david-b@xxxxxxxxxxx> Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like statically linked NFS (for nfsroot). The symptom is that __init section code references __exit section code; that won't work since the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called). The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit" section annotation.
