Problem while applying patch to 2.6.9 kernel

Problem while applying patch to 2.6.9 kernel

[Yogesh Pahilwan]

Hi Kernel Folks,

I am facing some problem while applying patch to the 2.6.9 kernel.

I have done following to apply the patch:

# patch -p1 < ../../Patches/patch-ext3

But getting following things:

missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|#--- ../A_CLEAN_FILE_SYSTEM/jbd/commit.c       2006-02-25
11:43:19.000000000 -0600
|#+++ commit.c  2006-03-29 20:53:29.000000000 -0600
--------------------------
File to patch:

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong while applying this patch or if the
command is correct then why patch is giving the above errors.

Any help can be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Hmm, perhaps you have the wrong -p option.

Since you didn't show us any of this patch, the above looks like you need
-p2.

You might want to get yourself more familiar with "patch".

Hi Steven,

I tried specifying -p2 as follows:

# patch -p2 < ../../Patches/patch-ext3

But still getting the same error.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Hmm, perhaps you have the wrong -p option.

Is this patch proprietary or can you post it?  At least can you show the
parts of the patch that have the diff headers (+++ and ---).

I can only suggest using the --dry-run option for patch so you can try
different patchlevels before applying the patch for real.

This sounds like a possibly corrupted patch file.

Agreed, wrong -p level looks likely.

There's also Documentation/applying-patches.txt which would be good to
read. Online link here :

You gotta lose the hash-mark at beginning-of-line of lines 1 and 2
(moise from some cut-n-paste operation?).  Then look at the second
line to see how many slashes you gotta skip (with -p -- looks like
it's -p0 here).
