Subject: Compiling backports-3.14.22-1 against kernel v2.6.32
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 20:44:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141105204455.80F94044@m0048140.ppops.net> (raw)

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently running RHEL6 since it's still the latest stable release and can't upgrade to RHEL7. And the latest kernel version available for RHEL6 is v2.6.32.
So when I tried to build the driver for RTL8723AE from backports-3.14.22-1 (because the front page says to use 3.14 for kernel versions 2.6.26+), I got these compilation errors:

backports-3.14.22-1/backport-include/net/inet_frag.h: In function 'backport_frag_mem_limit':
backports-3.14.22-1/backport-include/net/inet_frag.h:11: error: 'struct netns_frags' has no member named 'mem'
backports-3.14.22-1/backport-include/net/inet_frag.h: In function 'backport_sub_frag_mem_limit':

make[6]: *** [backports-3.14.22-1/compat/compat-2.6.35.o] Error 1
make[5]: *** [backports-3.14.22-1/compat] Error 2
make[4]: *** [_module_backports-3.14.22-1] Error 2

I understand that only kernel versions >= 3.0 are being supported at the moment, but backports-3.14 was supposed to successfully build against kernel-2.6.32 and it doesn't in my case. Anyway, it doesn't seem like it would be a difficult fix; any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
