Description Janne Grunau 2005-09-20 08:05:36 UTC 
app-misc/lirc-0.7.2 uses function "verify_area()" which is removed from
vanilla-sources-2.6.14-rc1

use "access_ok() ? 0 : -EFAULT; instead
see attached patch

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install vanilla-sources-2.6.14-rc1 and rebuild lirc modules
2. modprobe lirc_serial
3.

Actual Results:  
1. * Updating module dependencies for 2.6.14-rc1 ...
WARNING: //lib/modules/2.6.14-rc1/misc/lirc_serial.ko needs unknown symbol
verify_area

2.lirc_dev: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
lirc_serial: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
and modules are not loaded


Expected Results:  
lirc modules build cleanly and load

Comment 2 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-04 04:02:06 UTC 
patch works fine on vanilla 2.6.14-rc3 to,
compiled with lirc_opts = lirc-serial
Comment 3 Kevin J Meagher 2005-10-30 06:25:43 UTC 
verify_area has been dropped from gentoo-sources now. This patch should be added
to the ebuild
Comment 4 Sebastian Siewior 2005-11-04 12:54:25 UTC 
It might be better to replace it with irc-0.7.3pre1 which got rid of verify_area. 
This one works for me on amd64 with gentoo-sources-2.6.14

Comment 6 Joseph Pingenot 2005-11-13 10:58:10 UTC 
any ETA on this getting fixed?  I need lirc_sir to work RSN (same problem).

There's an ebuild for 0.7.3pre1 here, if you're feeling brave:  
  
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111820#c2  
 
(To use, save to /usr/local/portage/app-misc/lirc/lirc-0.7.3_pre1.ebuild - 
portage doesn't like 0.7.3pre1 as a version number)
