Bug#: 196566 Product:  Gentoo Linux Version: unspecified Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux Status: RESOLVED Severity: normal Priority: P2

Summary: sys-fs/cloop-2.05 does not build on sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.23
Keywords:  
Status Whiteboard: 
Opened: 2007-10-21 02:11 0000
Description:   Opened: 2007-10-21 02:11 0000 
The issue might affect other cloop and kernel combinations. I only tested using
the versions mentioned in the title. GCC emits a "void value not ignored as it
ought to be" error at line 817 in compressed_loop.c . The fix is trivial,
replace the if (unregister_cloop_blkdev() != 0) and its printk with
unregister_cloop_blkdev(); .

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge cloop
2. Watch module building stop with error "void value not ignored as it ought to
be"



Expected Results:  
cloop.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.23-hardened/... and user-space utilities in
/usr/bin

cloop-2.05.ebuild

It also doesn't build on gentoo-sources. René, could you maybe change the
Summary accordingly?

Using your patch and using the attached ebuild, I was able to build cloop.
