Hi Steve,


I tried to compile 1.44 on RHEL4 U3 (kernel 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL) and got
the same error as with 1.42b (*):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ make M=/tmp/cifs/cifs-for-older-kernels/fs/cifs/
  LD      /tmp/cifs/cifs-for-older-kernels/fs/cifs/built-in.o
  CC [M]  /tmp/cifs/cifs-for-older-kernels/fs/cifs/cifsfs.o

/tmp/cifs/cifs-for-older-kernels/fs/cifs/cifsproto.h:359: error: conflicting types for 'kzalloc'
include/linux/slab.h:101: error: previous declaration of 'kzalloc' was here

make: *** [_module_/tmp/cifs/cifs-for-older-kernels/fs/cifs] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applying the proposed patch for 1.42b solves this problem.


Regards,
              Juanjo
