Hi Greg,
After merging the driver-core tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
fs/sysfs/mount.c: In function 'sysfs_exit_ns':
fs/sysfs/mount.c:160: error: 'S_BIAS' undeclared (first use in this function)
Caused by commit c80e63f000aa7cf73a430b2cb57dbbb91554a847 ("sysfs:
Implement sysfs tagged directory support") from the driver-core tree
interacting with commit f3ffc7acb6a6ebec0a9e660d9211ed048d7e90f5 ("get
rid of S_BIAS") from the vfs tree.
I don't know how to fix this, so I just commented the code out for now
(see below). Please someone supply a correct fix.
[Al, I notice that the "get rid of S_BIAS" patch has an author date of
March 22 - it would have been nice if it had been in linux-next during
the last two months so that we could have had a fix for this some time
ago.]Stephen what is the easiest way to get a copy of Al's tree so I can take a look to see what needs to happen? Eric
