I have two questions relating to autofs4 and
autofs4-2.4.18-20020609.patch (direct maps and ghosting support).
1. When applying the patch to standard 2.4.18 kernel, the file
fs/autofs4/root.c doesn't get properly patched. The rejection occurs when
patch cannot find "struct file_operations autofs4_dir_operations = {" in
root.c The line reads "struct file_operations autofs4_root_operations = {"
instead. Is that a buggy patch file?
2. I manually applied the rejected hunk inside the struct
"autofs4_root_operations"
instead of "autofs4_dir_operations" and compiled the kernel. When running
"make SUBDIRS=fs/autofs4 modules" I get the following:
"...
inode.c: In function 'autofs4_get_inode':
inode.c:319: 'dcache_dir_ops' undeclared (first use in this function)
inode.c:319: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
inode.c:319: for each function it appears in.)
..."
Line 319 reads:
"inode->i_fop = &dcache_dir_ops;"
Since "dcache_dir_ops" is not defined anywhere, I changed it to
"inode->i_fop = &autofs4_root_operations". But now gcc complains that
"dcache_dir_open" and in genereal "dcache_dir_*" are not defined.
I arrived at a dead end. Does anyone have any suggestion/ideas?
Thanks,
Vsevolod
