Bug 427848 – net-fs/openafs-kernel-1.6.1 with >=gentoo-sources-3.5.0 - .../work/openafs-1.6.1/src/libafs/MODLOAD-3.5.0-gentoo-MP/osi_vfsops.c:287:5: Fehler: Implizite Deklaration der Funktion »end_writeback«

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oliver Freyermuth 2012-07-24 07:17:54 UTC]

Compilation fails after upgrading to gentoo-sources 3.5.0 due to implicit definition of "end_writeback". 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to gentoo-sources 3.5.0, configure and build
2. Recompile openafs-kernel-1.6.1
Actual Results:  
Compilation fails

Expected Results:  
Compilation works

This problem has already been fixed upstream, the corresponding deltas are
    - [2b33384] Linux 3.4: replace end_writeback with clear_inode
    - [5227148] Linux 3.5: encode_fh API change

After testing in a local overlay, I can confirm that 
[2b33384] Linux 3.4: replace end_writeback with clear_inode
is sufficient to make openafs compile and work with gentoo-sources-3.5.0 (did only test openafs-client). 

The patch can be taken from upstream git using the following direct link:

I have the same issue. Can we get a patched version of openafs-kernel into the main tree?

Same issue, patch gets it to build for me.
