The patch titled cciss: make device attrs static has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is cciss-make-device-attrs-static.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: cciss: make device attrs static From: Alex Chiang <achiang@xxxxxx> No need to export those device attributes. In fact, without this patch, we can trip over a build error if cciss is a built-in and another driver also declares and exports attributes with the same name. You'll see errors like: drivers/scsi/built-in.o: multiple definition of `dev_attr_lunid' drivers/block/built-in.o: first defined here Cc: Stephen M.
