ip6_tables warning (was: Re: Linux 2.4.27-pre6)

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

This is not a new problem, but I never bothered to report it before:

| ip6_tables.c: In function `tcp_match':
| ip6_tables.c:1596: warning: implicit declaration of function `ipv6_skip_exthdr'
It needs to include <net/ipv6.h> to kill the warning.

Sorry, no patch, since my development machine is offline.

Applied, thanks Yoshfuji.

I've seen this too, just was too lazy to fix it :)

igmp warning (was: Re: Linux 2.4.27-pre6)

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

And this is a new one (compared to -pre3):

| igmp.c: In function `igmpv3_newpack':
| igmp.c:279: warning: `skb' might be used uninitialized in this function

And it seems to be a real bug, not a compiler glitch:

| {
|         struct sk_buff *skb;
                          ^^^

|         if (ip_route_output(&rt, dst, 0, 0, dev->ifindex))

|         if (rt->rt_src == 0) {

Indeed, a 2.6.x bugfix got put into 2.4.x but it was not relevant
there at all.

Will fix this, thanks Geert.

Dangit. rwsem-spinlock.c isn't compiled for many architectures.

It should just require a

	struct task_struct *tsk;

sorry.

Yeah, m68k being one of those that need it, hence why Geert noticed 
immediately. I only tested on x86, ppc32 and alpha, none of which
needs it. This should do the trick, then.

As already reported for -pre5 and still valid for -pre6,
"make xconfig" is broken due to changes in drivers/hotplug/Config.in

The attached (trivial) patch fixes this problem.
