Hi Dan,
After merging the nvdimm tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:
drivers/nvdimm/x86.c: In function 'pmem_from_user':
drivers/nvdimm/x86.c:115:11: error: implicit declaration of function
'__copy_from_user_nocache' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
int rc = __copy_from_user_nocache(dst, src, size);
^
Caused by commit
6e704ff67315 ("uio, libnvdimm, pmem: implement cache bypass for all
copy_from_iter() operations")
interacting with commit
3f763453e6f2 ("kill __copy_from_user_nocache()")
from the vfs tree.
I have no idea why Al removed that function, so I just applied the
following fix patch for now:
