Hi,
I am trying to make target work with 2.6.29. It is on the line with
Sivaram's patch posted few weeks ago. I am facing an issue when trying to
do,
/open-fcoe-target# fcconf eth0 enable
fcconf: fcc_fcoe_config: FCoE create of eth0 failed
fcconf: fcc_fcoe_config: error 17 (null)
fcconf: fcc_fcoe_config: exiting at fcc_fcoe.c:142
I tried to look at the code,
fd = fcc_fcoe_open_wait();
rc = ioctl(fd, FCOE_CREATE_INTERFACE, &cfg);
if (rc < 0) {
SA_LOG_ERR_EXIT(errno, "FCoE create of %s failed", pp->fp_name);
Tracing back I find that this error originates from
fcoe_create_interface(struct fcoe_info *fci, void *ptr),
fc->real_dev = (void *)dev_get_by_name(&init_net, cfg->local_ifname);
<----This function signature is changed
if (fc->real_dev == NULL) {
SA_LOG("could not get network device for %s",
cfg->local_ifname);
rc = -ENODEV;
goto out;
}
if (fcoe_find_fcdev(fc->real_dev->name) != NULL) {
rc = -EEXIST; <---------- This is the error
returned.
goto out;
}
The only change made here is,
- fc->real_dev = (void *)dev_get_by_name(cfg->local_ifname);
+ fc->real_dev = (void *)dev_get_by_name(&init_net,
cfg->local_ifname);
I could not figure out why this error occurs. If someone can explain this it
would be really helpful.
Thanks,
- Karthik
