linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

Hi John,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig)
failed like this:

I should have known when I reported the warning ...

Caused by commit dd0dd411f7178a20ea93a3cfa39123f078a07e25 ("iwlwifi: fix
modular legacy build errors").

I have reverted that commit for today.

Looks like John removed it but the bluetooth tree (which is based on top
of the wireless tree) brought it back in by rebasing on top of yesterday's
wireless tree. :-(

I have reverted it again today.

Sorry about that, I wasn't aware of this problem. I'm going to redo my
tree today to fix this issue.

I'll send the band-aid to John first and remove it once I have created
the ath6kl core module.

Thanks for the help.

No particular reason. I just didn't know that it's not allowed.

I have been planning to do the same for ath6kl. I just need to do a bit
of interface cleanup before I can cleanly separate the core module. I'll
start looking at that next.

Thinking about this more, the comment is wrong. The reason is that with
the the modules builtin, KBUILD_MODNAME is needed to generate names of
commandline options to set module parameters: <module name>.<param
name>. And ath6kl_sdio_ath6kl_usb.<param> would first look silly, second
the name would change if we disabled one of the drivers.

Another option is to build both drivers in a single module. Or, as a
band-aid, make the two drivers module-only, by adding 'depends on m' to
their Kconfig entries.

scripts/Makefile.lib says
# Note: It's possible that one object gets potentially linked into more
#       than one module. In that case KBUILD_MODNAME will be set to foo_bar,
#       where foo and bar are the name of the modules.

but reality does not match this comment:
modname_flags  = $(if $(filter 1,$(words $(modname))),\
                 -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR($(call name-fix,$(modname)))")

But I wonder why you need to link all the object files twice? Usually,
drivers have a foo_common.ko and foo_{usb,pci,whatever}.ko that provide
the pci/usb/whatever driver.

Hi Stephen,

I'll add linux-wireless and ath6kl-devel as I'm sick today and hopefully
someone else from our team will take a look at it.

Is this ppc specific problem? Is there anything we should do on ath6kl
to fix this?

linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1640 bytes --]

Hi ,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:27:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:27:1: error: 'KBUILD_MODNAME' undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/cfg80211.c:27:1: error: expected ',' or ';' before string constant
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:32:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:33:1: error: expected ')' before 'KBUILD_MODNAME'

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:34:1: error: invalid initializer
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/init.c:34:1: error: expected ',' or ';' before string constant

I can't figure out what goes wrong here.  On the compile command line,
KBUILD_MODNAME is not defined, but KBUILD_BASE_NAME is.

However, reverting commit fde57764ef87 ("ath6kl: enable USB support")
made the problem go away.  That commit caused the above two files to be
built into two separate modules.

Sorry about that! I'll send a fix right away.

I was working on adding ath6kl prefix too all global ath6kl symbols but
I haven't been able to finish that yet.

linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

[Stephen Rothwell]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1397 bytes --]

Hi John,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig)
failed like this:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `htc_start':
(.opd+0x600): multiple definition of `htc_start'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.opd+0x3e40): first defined here
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `.htc_stop':
(.text+0x7b40): multiple definition of `.htc_stop'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.text+0x67b34): first defined here
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `.htc_start':
(.text+0x7d18): multiple definition of `.htc_start'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.text+0x67ba0): first defined here
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/built-in.o: In function `htc_stop':
(.opd+0x5e8): multiple definition of `htc_stop'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.opd+0x3e28): first defined here

Probably caused by commit bdcd81707973 ("Add ath6kl cleaned up driver").

I have reverted commit 392e741939dd ("Merge branch 'ath6kl-next' of
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl") for today.

John, this has happened a couple of times before where people have just
copied an existing driver that happens to have some badly named global
variables.  :-(

Unless John has already fixed this, you need to send him a patch.  This
should be a fix patch as John doesn't normally rebase his tree (I think).

My intent was to have the #endif one line above, but either way works.
 That's the problem of preparing patches on pajamas.
How can I help at this point?  Would resubmitting the patch help or
just add noise?

The compiler will elide that code but only after compiling it, so the
code still has to be correct.

I think you have the #ifdef one line too low.

Sorry, I just saw this.  My apologies.  The fixup is valid but I'm
trying to understand why it is needed.
ieee80211_vif_is_mesh(&sdata->vif) compiles to 'false' when
CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not defined... wouldn't the compiler remove
that dead code? (Obviously it did not...)

Anyway, given that this is necessary, it's probably cleaner to extend
the #ifdef block to the entire body of the outer if as follows:

linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi John,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig)
failed like this:

net/mac80211/cfg.c: In function 'sta_apply_parameters':
net/mac80211/cfg.c:746: error: 'struct sta_info' has no member named 'plink_state'

Cause by commit 9c3990aaec0a ("nl80211: Let userspace drive the peer link
management states").  plink_state is only available in sta_info if
CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is set.

I applied the following patch for today (which my not be correct).

I have just left this one as it will only break strange configs (like

I had gotten private mail yesterday about the missing vmalloc.h include.

It will take me a while to set up an allyes configuration to find the other
problems.

linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c: In function 'rtl92cu_init_sw_vars':
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c:60: error: implicit declaration of function 'vmalloc'
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c:60: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c: In function 'rtl92cu_deinit_sw_vars':
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/sw.c:74: error: implicit declaration of function 'vfree'

Caused by commit 442888c706e90634c4cc3441751b43115a7d8506 ("rtlwifi:
rtl8192cu: Add routines dm, fw, led and sw").  Missing an include of
linux/vmalloc.h.  See Rule 1 in Documentation/SubmitChecklist.

I added the following patch:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:29:04 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] rtlwifi: include vmalloc.h for needed routines

but then got:

and lots more.

So I have used the wireless tree from next-20110221 for today.

linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (wireless tree related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/built-in.o:(.bss+0x13dc): multiple definition of `modparam_nohwcrypt'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/built-in.o:(.bss+0x844c): first defined here

Caused by commit cd2c5486526b744fb505e18c9d981b35feaf283a ("ath5k: Move
mac80211 functions into new file").  This is what you get for using
unqualified global names ...

I reverted that commit for today.  The references in ath9k should
probably be qualified as well.

Sorry for the omission. This error arises because my only platforms get the 
header included implicitly.

This patch will fix the problem - I will formally submit it through John Linville.
