Hello all,
I am trying to compile AFS for Fedora 9 pre, with a 2.6.25
kernel.
osi_groups.c:54: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member
named
‘parent’
This 'parent' member was only inserted last year, but it seems to
have
gone.
Has anyone already patched for this kernel?
Fedora 9pre and OpenAFS don't currently play well together. Here's a
quick summary of where we are:
*) The dependency structure of the kernel RPMs has changed - Derrick
has patches for the build system and spec file to fix this
*) struct task_struct doesn't have a 'parent' element. This is due to
a RedHat only patch which gets rid of ptrace. A configure test for
this is now in CVS
*) rcu_lock_map is no longer exported, so we have to use a weak
reference to determine key_type_keyring. A fix for this is in CVS
*) Setting tokens crashes. gcc seems to miscompile the picotl
handling code, possibly due to the lack of prototypes. I have a patch
which prototypes the relevant code, and gets this working again
*) Occasionally, the root vnode seems to have a corrupt pointer to
the Access structure. As yet, unfixed.
*) Locks seem to be being left dangling, such that ls /afs will only
run once. Again, I'm still investigating this.
Cheers,
Simon.
