Hi,

This patch solved the problem where certain functions in the NFS code
goes missing due to the __exit section being discarded for static
links.

I saw one other version of this patch from David Brownell, but it had
clutter left on the lines where the __exit should simply be removed.

Cheers,
Jes

Remove __exit declarations from functions called from __init code to
avoid link errors when the __exit section is discarded, eg NFS is
linked statically into the kernel.

Oops... I was a bit too quick there. Could you clean up  the forward
declarations in "internal.h" too, please.

Cheers,

Good point, I didn't notice those because the compiler didn't moan. I'll
look into doing another patch, but it might not be until Thursday.

Cheers,
Jes

OK here's a version of my patch that I edited to remove the
comments Jes objected to ... /* init or exit */ to remind
about the omitted section annotation.  Having one of those
would save multiple kbytes throughout the kernel, and I had
include the comments as reminders for an eventual fix...

Once more, with patch.

[-- Attachment #2: nfs.patch --]
[-- Type: text/x-diff, Size: 3950 bytes --]

Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like
statically linked NFS (for nfsroot).  The symptom is that __init
section code references __exit section code; that won't work since
the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called).

The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit"
section annotation.
