[Fwd: Re: Bug#538372: header failure including netlink.h (or uio.h)]

[Manuel Prinz]

Hi everyone,

I'm forwarding this bug in Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/538372) as
requested by the Debian kernel team. A patch is available. Applying just
the first hunk fixes the issue for me. I've not enough kernel knowledge
to judge if this fix is a proper solution, though.

It would be really great if someone could have a look at it. Thanks in
advance! (And please CC me in replies. Thanks!)

Best regards,

Manuel

I've tried it with current include/linux and it works OK. Replacing
uio.h on Debian really was not enough, but it looks like missing
compiler.h entries could be the reason. Otherwise, please send your
compile error log.

Best regards,

Hmm... Probably you noticed it yourself, so a little update for the
record. My method wasn't the proper way, but repeating it with
sanitized headers from the current kernel works even better: replacing
Debian's uio.h only seems to be enough yet.
