Hi all,
I'm a bit confused as to the status of the type 'u32' in the kernel I
use (2.6.29.4).
u32 is used in thread_info.h, but types.h uses __u32.
Now, while googling I came across a recent patch -
{Mon Feb 09 2009 Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@xxxxxxxxxx> +- Fix type in header
so iptables will build. (#484679) }
Although not related, it's the same issue - the patch applies a change
from u32 to __u32.
Should I change the type u32 -> __u32 in thread_info.h ???
I'm not comfortable with that because that's "stable" kernel source.
Or am I simply overlooking some runtime constant/defintion I should have
present...
I can't see why that would be, I've built various modules before, never
had an issue like this.. ?
For reference, this is the chain (module.h -> downwards) - that causes
the error :
