Bug 42481 – "Make" fails parport drivers

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gary Mercer 2004-02-22 08:27:24 UTC]

When compiling (Make) Kernel 2.6.3-mm2 it fails trying to make parport drivers

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make Menuconfig
2. Choose same options as in Kernel 2.6.3-rc3-mm1 (These worked without problems)
3. Make

Actual Results:  
  CC      drivers/parport/procfs.o
  LD      drivers/parport/parport.o
  CC      drivers/parport/parport_pc.o
drivers/parport/parport_pc.c: In function `parport_pc_unregister_port':
drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:2337: error: `priv' undeclared (first use in this
function)
drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:2337: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:2337: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [drivers/parport/parport_pc.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/parport] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


Expected Results:  
Successful compile of Kernel

Created attachment 26118 [details, diff]
Adding the missing #ifdef to list_del_init(&priv->list);

Seems to me there's missing a definition check. The variable priv will not be
defined without FIFO support, therefore it cannot be recalled to (its address
stack is not there when list_del_init(&priv->list); is called).
Compiled clean.

The issue should be solved in 2.6.4-mm1. Thanks.
