aufs3-3_p20121015.ebuild.patch

Attached is the patch to the ebuild that I use. (addresses the non-x86 issues)
Comment 4 Dennis Schridde 2012-10-17 19:44:36 UTC
My kernel was patched using aufs3-base-6.patch and aufs3-standalone-6.patch.

The same issue affects sys-fs/aufs3-3_p20120813-r1.
Comment 5 Dennis Schridde 2012-10-17 23:06:04 UTC
Same issue with aufs3-*-5.patch. dentry_open is defined in include/linux/fs.h:
/usr/src/linux-3.6.2-gentoo/include/linux/fs.h:extern struct file * dentry_open(const struct path *, int, const struct cred *);

/usr/src/linux-3.5.3-gentoo/include/linux/fs.h:extern struct file * dentry_open(struct dentry *, struct vfsmount *, int,
/usr/src/linux-3.5.3-gentoo/include/linux/fs.h-                          const struct cred *);

Apparently the definition changed between linux-3.5 and linux-3.6 and aufs3 needs to adapt.
Comment 6 Dennis Schridde 2012-10-17 23:17:36 UTC
Figured it out. It seems linux-mod.eclass does by default not detect the version based on KBUILD_OUTPUT, but on KERNEL_DIR. If the latter is not set, it defaults to the running kernel, which does not match the version in KBUILD_OUTPUT.

After I set both variables the build succeeds. I'll hence blame it on linux-mod.eclass not detecting that the KERNEL_DIR it selected does not match the KBUILD_OUTPUT. The latter should contain a "source" symlink to KERNEL_DIR, and hence allow to detect its version in the same way as for KERNEL_DIR.

Further KERNEL_DIR could be automatically set to $KBUILD_OUTPUT/source, if the latter is set but not the former.
Comment 7 Dennis Schridde 2012-10-18 07:40:38 UTC
The patch is not to solve this problem (but bug #432392 and its children), but just informative to tell you what modifications I made. Hence I remove Keywords:PATCH.

If this is still an issue after the latest fixes please re-open with reproducible steps.
