Description Christian Banik 2004-02-06 07:23:21 UTC
When supermount support is selected as a module, the newest gentoo-dev kernel fails to compile.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take the attached .config for gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.2 or set up your own config with supermount support selected as module

Actual Results:  
  CC      fs/inode.o 
  CC      fs/attr.o 
  CC      fs/bad_inode.o 
  CC      fs/file.o 
  CC      fs/dnotify.o 
fs/dnotify.c:171: redefinition of `__kstrtab_dnotify_parent' 
fs/dnotify.c:168: `__kstrtab_dnotify_parent' previously defined here 
fs/dnotify.c:171: redefinition of `__ksymtab_dnotify_parent' 
fs/dnotify.c:168: `__ksymtab_dnotify_parent' previously defined here 
{standard input}: Assembler messages: 
{standard input}:434: Error: symbol `__kstrtab_dnotify_parent' is already 
defined 
{standard input}:440: Error: symbol `__ksymtab_dnotify_parent' is already 
defined 
make[1]: *** [fs/dnotify.o] Fehler 1 
make: *** [fs] Fehler 2 
 

Expected Results:  
It should compile cleanly. 

Both when supermount support is deactivated or integrated in the kernel, it 
compiles cleanly.
