Subject: Question re. <linux/sizes.h> required since btrfs-progs-4.10
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2017 17:04:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <58C42024.6000401@applied-asynchrony.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm on Gentoo and wanted to update Docker to 17.03.0, which failed when it
couldn't build the btrfs driver due to a missing <linux/sizes.h>.
This worked fine on another machine the other day, so I dug in and found that
the only difference was an intermediate update to btrfs-progs 4.10.
Sure enough: since 4.10 ctree.h includes <linux/sizes.h>, which is nowhere
to be found in my package of linux-headers-4.10 (also not in 4.9).
Simply copying sizes.h from the 4.9 kernel sources made everything work,
but I'm curious whether this is actually correct - hence my question whether
<linux/sizes.h> _should_ actually be installed? Is this a bug with
Gentoo's kernel header package or a new problem with btrfs-progs?
I don't see any good reason why sizes.h should not be installed, but wanted
to verify since there are probably users of other distributions here as
well. :)
Thanks,
Holger
