Bug 195407 – net-fs/openafs-kernel doesn't compile with vserver-sources: Unknown symbol vx_rmap_pid

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adrian Perez 2007-10-10 18:03:38 UTC]

When building net-fs/openafs-kernel the compiler complains about vx_rmap_pid being implicitly defined, but the module builds and installs. When the module is inserted in the kernel, it will produce the following error:

  libafs: Unknown symbol vx_rmap_pid

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge vserver-sources
2. emerge openafs-kernel
3. modprobe libafs

Actual Results:  
Kernel produces error:

  libafs: Unknown symbol vx_rmap_pid

when trying to load the module.

Expected Results:  
The module should load and work.

Created attachment 133069 [details, diff]
Allows building openafs-kernel with vserver-sources

Proposed patch. It only includes <linux/vs_cvirt.h> when CONFIG_VSERVER is enabled, so it effectively does nothing at all in stock kernels or when VServer is disabled.

Looks clean, trusting you there :)
Applied in net-fs/openafs-kernel-1.4.5_pre1
Thanks for the patch.
