inter-module-2.2.17 patch

inter-module-2.2.17 patch

[mark.langsdorf]

I installed the latest CVS code on my computer today.
After the kernel recompile, I keep getting undefined
references to inter_module_put.

I tried applying the inter-module-2.2.17 patch to
my 2.2.17 kernel, using
'patch -p1 < inter-module-2.2.17.patch'
but I get an immediate error, 
"malformed patch at line 6: #include <linux/smp_lock.h>"

What should I be doing to get the latest MTD code to 
compile against 2.2.17?

OK, I've just put a complete patch for the inter_module_xxx stuff along 
with the latest CVS code into CVS. 

It's patches/mtd-patch-2.2.17-20001130

I've compiled in the DiskOnChip 2000 driver, dug a doc2000 eval board out 
of a drawer and booted it. It finds the device and complains a lot about 
bad ECC, but that's not very surprising because it was my Grub test device 
and probably doesn't have a valid NFTL on it.

I don't compile it with RW typically .. if you want I can run up a test RW ... lemme try
it now ..

Re: inter-module-2.2.17 patch

bit of a dodgy ... when I mounted it, I got that mounting unchecked filesystem, go run 
e2fsck message (which is fine), ... buuuuut ... after cd'ing to the mounted file system
and doing 
ls -al
ls -al

I got the "NFTL_findfreeblock: there are too few free EUNs" ... which is odd, since the
only time I've seen them before is after a heap of DoC disk writes ...


hmm .. must have been time delayed from the mount ... hasn't reoccurred ... just copied
a file to it ... no error .. sync'd it .. got that NFTL_findfreeblock error again .. the file is still 
there tho ... reboot ... remount ... yep file is still in-tact.

Looks like its fine ... does it do a free block check when its first mounted (in RW mode) ?

	Stupid stinking firewall.
	I can't get CVS access, and the current build at 
ftp.uk.linux.org doesn't have this file.
	Could someone please email me this file?  Thank you
very much.

Strange. Nothing I write to my 4MiB doc2000 seems to 'take'. 

Anyone else?

That's a normal situation. I've toned down the warning (made it a DEBUG 
message)

	I'm still getting link errors (down to only one, though).
Now it can't find cfi_cmdset_0002 for check_cmd_set.
	drivers/mtd shows a cfi_cmdset_0002.o and CONFIG_MTD_CFI_AMDSTD
is set to yes in .config.
	What the heck is going on?

Superfluous 'static' in declaration of cfi_cmdset_000[12]()

Fixed in CVS.

Have you taken a baseball bat to your firewall admin yet? Time to see your 
manager and tell him it's affecting your productivity, because it's 
preventing you from getting code fixes as soon as they're available.
