Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] Fix problem with undefined umode_t type in 3.3 kernel headers
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 09:14:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332580484-4489-1-git-send-email-spdawson@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Simon Dawson <spdawson@gmail.com>

The 3.3 kernel headers define the umode_t type within a __KERNEL__
preprocessor ifdef region. This results in a broken kernel header in the
buildroot toolchain.

+Fix a problem with the 3.3 kernel headers. Specifically, the umode_t type
+is defined within a __KERNEL__ preprocessor ifdef region, and so the type
+is not usable by non-kernel code. Visit the following URL for more details.
