Bugzilla Bug 188373

ntoskernel.o fails to build because it uses a kernel function
'kmem_cache_create' which in 2.6.23-rc2 seems to be defined with one less
argument than it had at the time ndiswrapper-1.47 was updated. i.e.,
/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.47/work/ndiswrapper-1.47/driver/ntoskernel.c:
In function 'ntoskernel_init':
/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.47/work/ndiswrapper-1.47/driver/ntoskernel.c:2597:
error: too many arguments to function 'kmem_cache_create'
make[2]: ***
[/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.47/work/ndiswrapper-1.47/driver/ntoskernel.o]
Error 1


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Accept unstable (~x86) keyword
2. emerge =sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.23_rc2 and make config
3. emerge =net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.47


Actual Results:  
Build fails at ntoskernel.o

Expected Results:  
Successful build/merge

Running under a chroot in Ubuntu Feisty, although the somewhat trivial nature
of the bug makes most of this seem irrelevant.

Patch to ntoskernel.c

I haven't yet tested this patch. The source compiles with this patch, however,
the fix is formulated only from a half(?)-educated perspective (i.e., although
it compiles, I don't know with much certainty that it is a proper change, and
that this might break with kernel versions older than 2.6.23-rc2)

I have just added 1.48_rc1 to the tree, which works with 2.6.23 and has some
other fixes. Btw. your patch is correct.

Reopening as this is broken in the stable tree.. I'm now working towards 2.6.23
stabling in 2 weeks time, so this stuff should ideally be fixed in stable if
possible.

x86: please stable whatever version you are comfortable with, the newer the
better :)

1.50 x86 stable and closing
