Hi Jens,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

Probably caused by commit d01681d1457c ("cdrom: export sysctl code").
This build has CONFIG_SYSCTL=y, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m,
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=m, CONFIG_PARIDE_PCD=m, CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD=m,
CONFIG_GDROM=n.

I have used the block tree from next-20141110 for today.

Hi Stephen,

Problem is in Makefile:

obj-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR) += cdrom.o
obj-$(CONFIG_PARIDE_PCD) += cdrom.o
obj-$(CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD) += cdrom.o
+obj-$(CONFIG_SYSCTL) += cdrom_sysctl.o

I tried cdrom-$(CONFIG_SYSCTL)  += cdrom_sysctl.o
to add sysctl only when cdrom.o is created

but now

drivers/scsi/sr_mod.ko
drivers/ide/ide-cd_mod.ko
drivers/ide/ide-cd_mod.ko

can't find cdrom.c functions ...

Is there another way to do it ?

The problem is, now you can have cdrom/sr modular, but cdrom_sysctl.o is 
linked in. That's just not going to work. Instead of jumping through 
hoops to make this work, leave the section in cdrom.c and hid it behind a

#if defined(CONFIG_SYSCTL)
...
#endif

at the bottom or something.
