This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled staging: exfat: fix multiple definition error of `rename_file' to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 1af73a25e6e7d9f2f1e2a14259cc9ffce6d8f6d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brendan Higgins <brendanhiggins@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2019 15:45:22 -0800 Subject: staging: exfat: fix multiple definition error of `rename_file' `rename_file' was exported but not properly namespaced causing a multiple definition error because `rename_file' is already defined in fs/hostfs/hostfs_user.c: ld: drivers/staging/exfat/exfat_core.o: in function `rename_file': drivers/staging/exfat/exfat_core.c:2327: multiple definition of `rename_file'; fs/hostfs/hostfs_user.o:fs/hostfs/hostfs_user.c:350: first defined here make: *** [Makefile:1077: vmlinux] Error 1 This error can be reproduced on ARCH=um by selecting: CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y CONFIG_HOSTFS=y Add a namespace prefix exfat_* to fix this error.
