I digged a bit more into the problem. It all results from certain functions in afs/LINUX/osi_machdep.h . They deal with tasks and task_struct pointers. line 65: PENDING(&t->sig->shared_pending, &t->blocked);
Looking into /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h one finds that the task_struct sructure has no member "sig". There is a signal variable and a signal handler variable. line 494: struct signal_struct *signal; line 495: struct sighand_struct *sighand; I compared it to the 24.20 stock kernel. That one has a member named sig. So I guess I'm dealing with some of Alan Cox' (in)famous changes to the main kernel tree; probably 2.5 stuff that RedHat already put into their kernel. The other error is related to the SIG_LOCK and SIG_UNLOCK functions in osi_machdep.h . line 77:#define SIG_LOCK(X) spin_lock_irq(&X->sig->siglock) line 78:#define SIG_UNLOCK(X) spin_unlock_irq(&X->sig->siglock) In changing osi_machdep.h as follows: line 65: PENDING(&t->signal->shared_pending, &t->blocked); line 77:#define SIG_LOCK(X) spin_lock_irq(&X->sighand->siglock) line 78:#define SIG_UNLOCK(X) spin_unlock_irq(&X->sighand->siglock) I get 1.2.9-rc2 to compile successfully, but the resulting libafs modules cannot be loaded. So the formal structure is right, but I guess now the modules try to deal with the wrong signals and signal handlers. I'm no expert so I don't know what are the right changes. But maybe it's a better hint for you what goes wrong. Regards Frank ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Frank Bagehorn IBM Zurich Research Lab.
