Hello When extracting kernel source on a partition which does not support filenames with different case of the same letters (NTFS), I noticed /include/linux/netfilter/ files have a CAPS version, and lower case version. The netfilter/KBuild file refers to the CAPS file in certain cases, which then simply includes the lower-case filename. Would a patch be considered for review which amended the netfilter/KBuild to simply refer to the lower-case files, and deleted the CAPS version files? An alternative idea would be to make them alphabetically unique. e.g. appending_def to the CAPS filenames (i.e. xt_CONNMARK_def.h). Of cause both of these options depend on if agreement that having alphabetically unique names is something worth the change. linux kernel files with different case Looking at 2.6.38.3 /include/linux/netfilter/ xt_CONNMARK.h includes "xt_connmark.h" xt_DSCP.h (contains struct) xt_dscp.h xt_MARK.h includes "xt_mark.h" xt_RATEEST.h (contains struct) xt_rateest.h xt_TCPMSS.h (contains struct) xt_tcpmss.h There are two other files in ip4 folder, in addition C files: ipt_ecn.c xt_dscp.c xt_hl.c xt_rateest.c xt_tcpmss.c I know ideally we'd only extract the tar.bz on a regular GNU+Linux system (ext4 formatted partition). Would a patch to rename these files to be alphabetically unique be accepted for review? I will wait for reply before starting to prepare a patch. In addition, then I would look into the files comprehensively. Thank you for reading this far. Please keep my email address included in any replies.
