[linux-cifs-client] Re: compile cifs-1.48a error on CentOS 4.3

[kemas]

Hi Akemi,

sorry for late reply, been out of office for 2 days.
Yup, I've download cifs-1.48a from
http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/cifs-1.48a.tar.gz, but when
I compile the kernel it throws error like this

CC [M]  fs/cifs/cifsfs.o
In file included from fs/cifs/cifsfs.c:40:
fs/cifs/cifsproto.h:369: error: conflicting types for 'kzalloc'
include/linux/slab.h:101: error: previous declaration of'kzalloc' was
here
fs/cifs/cifsproto.h:369: error: conflicting types for 'kzalloc'
include/linux/slab.h:101: error: previous declaration of'kzalloc' was
here    make[2]: *** [fs/cifs/cifsfs.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [fs/cifs] Error 2
make: *** [fs] Error 2

I'm so curious to test Jeff Layton patch that you told me last night
(not sleeping and bouncing my head), but when I apply the patch to my
kernel (kernel source from 2.6.9 from Centos), some patch were rejected,
maybe because my fault not applying the patch correctly.

what I did last night like this, correct me if I'm wrong

#tar xvzf cifs-1.48a.tar.gz
#cp cifs-bld-tmp/fs/cifs/* /usr/src/linux/fs/cifs
#make mrproper
#make oldconfig
#patch -p1 < 0010-BZ-239939-Update-CIFS-to-1.48aRH.patch
...several files rejected
#make
...still the same error

but when I change 2 files (cifsproto.h and cifsfs.c) that had
declaration 'kzalloc' like Jeff Layton patch, and 1 file (inode.c) that
has variable 'rlim', the compile process is running now.

Don't know if the module going to work because some code were alter like
that. Or perhaps someone has nicer way to do this?


thank you
kemas
