kernel-2.6.10-rc1-mm1 compile issue

kernel-2.6.10-rc1-mm1 compile issue

[Stef van der Made]

Dear Kernel Developers,

I'm trying to get kernel 2.6.10-rc1-mm1 into life. The compile of 
2.6.10-rc1 goes fine but when I apply the patch for 2.6.10-rc1-mm1 and 
recompile the kernel I get some errors which I can't explain why they 
happen. A lot of the messages are warnings and probably mostly harmless 
but at the end the compile stops dead in it's tracks. I've added the 
logs of the compile at the end of this email.

I'm running gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.3, kernel headers-2.6.8.1.

Can anybody tell me if I'm doing someting wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Stef

Hi Chris,

I've tried the patch but it failed to apply. By the looks of the code 
the patch was already applied. It looks like a new issue :-(

Line 759 and on look like this

#if defined(PG_skipped)
        ClearPageSkipped(page);
#endif
        if (page->mapping != NULL)
                delete_from_page_cache(page);
        unlock_page(page);
}

Cheers,

Stef

If you look carefully, that message should mention "patch -R" to back out the
change.  I should've been more explicit about that.

thanks,
