[opensuse-kernel] 11.2 kabi vs. PM / yenta fix
Hi, I added the kabi files from the 11.2 goldmaster kernel to the repository, so from now on, every kabi change will be caught by the build-time checks. Unfortunately there were already some changes in the repo that did change the kabi signatures: patches.drivers/alsa-hda-reboot-notify, already reverted by Takashi, "dm snapshot: use unsigned integer chunk size" and "PM / yenta: Split resume into early and late parts (rev. 4)", both came via the 2.6.31.6 update. I reverted the latter two for now, so that the builds don't start failing suddenly, but I guess that's not the right option esp. for the yenta fix. Rafael, you wrote the patch, can you comment here? The problem is the new member in struct pcmci_socket. Can we * just ignore this change (in worst case, some drivers will need a rebuild for the next kernel update) * hide the change from genksyms (do external drivers ever need to allocate the structure themselves?) * revert the fix (probably not) * work around it, e.g. make use of some of the reserved bitfields in the struct instead of adding a new member? ? Thanks, Michal (*) http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git;a=commit... and http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git;a=commit... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
