2 compile errors: rt2x00firmware.c and mesh.c

[Franz Apeltauer <franz.apeltauer@gmx.at>]

Hi,

after downloading the latest
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2=
=2E6.tar.bz2
today (2.3.2008) I got these errors during make:

My environment (Ubuntu gutsy):
kernel: 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/=
Linux
cc: gcc-Version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)
wlan card: MSI PC54G2 ... RaLink rt2500 chip


When I tried to "export CONFIG_CRC_ITU_T=3Dy" before "make",=20
rt2x00firmware.c compiled fine. (Probably this is not a good idea. I=20
just wanted to see, if it compiles then.)

-----------------
=2E.. but a bit later I got this error:

   CC [M]  .../compat-wireless-2.6/net/mac80211/mesh.o
=2E../compat-wireless-2.6/net/mac80211/mesh.c: In Funktion =BBieee80211=
s_init=AB:
=2E../compat-wireless-2.6/net/mac80211/mesh.c:28:
=46ehler: Zu wenige Argumente f=FCr Funktion =BBkmem_cache_create=AB
=3D Error: Not enough arguments for function =BBkmem_cache_create=AB

In /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14/include/linux/slab.h I found:
    struct kmem_cache *kmem_cache_create(const char *, size_t, size_t,
		unsigned long,
		void (*)(void *, struct kmem_cache *, unsigned long),
		void (*)(void *, struct kmem_cache *, unsigned long));
i.e. the old, 6-parameter version.

So, IMHO the #define kmem_cache_create in
- compat-wireless-2.6/include/net/compat.h, line 120 and
- compat-wireless-2.6/compat/compat.h, line 120
should be moved 2 lines downwards into the block named
/* Compat work for 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 */
Then it compiles fine.
