| |
Hi,
i already reported this little nuisance starting in 2.0.21 to linux-smp a month ago, and see it happen in all the subsequent kernel releases up to the current 2.0.24:
- compiling nfs as a module _without_ SMP support works as expected.
- compiling nfs as a module _WITH_ SMP support activated yields "unresolved symbols" in nfs.o
- insmod .../nfs.o dies with pointing to the unresolved symbols:
active_kernel_processor kernel_counter kernel_flag smp_invalidate_needed smp_spins
- According to .depend in the fs/nfs subdirectory _only_ inode.c has smp relevant include directives:
#include <linux/smp.h> #include <linux/smp_lock.h>
Hope this info helps the experts to track down this little nuisance with nfs module support and SMP.
I can perfectly live with compiling nfs support into the kernel, but as this major kernel 2.0 is pretty close to become a stable one, newbies (including myself) might become irritated !
Thanks and PLEASE NOTE, that I'm not subscribed to linux-kernel !!! So please answer to linux-smp or private email.
Michael
