Dear friends,
I am trying to compile the linux kernel 2.6.33. I need to incorporate a patch into this. The patch creates a directory and 3 src files as below,
~/linux-2.6.33/net/core/<strong>netchannel</strong>
~/linux-2.6.33/net/core/<strong>netchannel/netchannel.c</strong>
~/linux-2.6.33/net/core/<strong>netchannel/storage.c</strong>
~/linux-2.6.33/net/core/<strong>netchannel/users.c</strong>
Now, among the above users.c file uses a function named 'get_empty_filp()', which is defined in some another c file. See the the following error
net/core/netchannel/user.c: In function ‘netchannel_bind_fd’:
net/core/netchannel/user.c:192: error: implicit declaration of function ‘get_empty_filp’
net/core/netchannel/user.c:192: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
I found that the fun('get_empty_filp') is defined in following location
fun def => ~/linux-2.6.33/fs/<strong>internal.h</strong>
fun body => ~/linux-2.6.33/fs/<strong>file_table.c</strong>
The following is module's make file,
obj-y += netchannel.o storage.o user.o
How do I incorporate file_table.c and internal.h in this make file, so that it gets successfully compiled
