We are seeing this on RHEL4 U8 x86_64 (2.6.9-89). I was trying to find the page I found that referenced the deprecation, as I was thinking this was 2.6.22 and greater kernels. I haven't stumbled across it again though.
I noticed there were configure tests for CONFIG_COMPAT, HAVE_COMPAT_IOCTL_HANDLER, & HAVE_REGISTER_IOCTL32_CONVERSION that appear to try and resolve whether a system has that functionality or not. We're also running successfully on RHEL4 U8 ix86, so I'm wondering if this is a 64bit thing somehow. Is the register_ioctl32_conversion still needed anymore? I'm not sure when CONFIG_COMPAT comes into play, or if that is the replacement functionality for ioctl32 conversions. -----Original Message----- From: Becky Ligon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 4:26 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Pvfs2-developers] PVFS 2.8.2 kernel panics Which OS are you using when you see this behavior? Could it be that there is a problem at the OS level with the register_ioctl32_conversion function? I saw some google entries indicating that it should be deprecated?
