[PATCH] staging: lustre: ptlrpc: re-export lustre_swab_[lmv|lov]_mds_md

[James Simmons]

Being over zealous in removing unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs two functions
lustre_swab_[lmv|lov]_mds_md exports were removed. They need to be
exported so this patch restores those EXPORT_SYMBOLS. Same mistake
was done when porting to the upstream client.

How did our build testing not catch this?  What needs these exports?  Is
it any in-kernel code?

It did catch it...  James, every patch has to be buildable (bisectable)
so the original patch is never going to be merged.

kbuild responded to the email that it broke compilation on s360 but I
don't think the breakage is arch specific?

I don't see anyone else using this symbol, in fact, it could now be
marked static.  So why export it?

This is used by other files (it's listed twice in lustre_idl.h...), so
it might need to be exported, but why am I not seeing a build error
without this change?

Crap, I thought that was some other kbuild failure, my fault for
ignoring that.

Ok, I'll take half of this patch, if it gets resent...

We missed it original as well due to the fact it showed up on only 
specific platforms. I have no idea why that is. The majority of the
time it works. BTW is there a way to run kbuild bot on a patch set
before submission to avoid these corner cases.

But it is. The breakage appears on only a subset of platforms. All the 
patches I sent are tested on a real file system setup using our special
test suite. This was done on x86 hardware where the problem doesn't show
up. I guess I need to ask work for a non-x86 platform to test with :-)

But it is. The breakage appears on only a subset of platforms. All the 
patches I sent are tested on a real file system setup using our special
test suite. This was done on x86 hardware where the problem doesn't show
up. I guess I need to ask work for a non-x86 platform to test with :-)

Too soon to export it. A patch is coming in which the llite layer will use 
it. I will drop it and make a note to make sure for the upcoming patch 
that I export lustre_swab_lmv_mds_md.

The function lustre_swab_lov_mds_md is also used in lov_pack.c so it needs
to be exported. You shouldn't be able to load some of the lustre modules 
but it does on x86. I will send a new patch to fix this but a note about
this breakage should be kept so someone with an indepth understanding of 
the module system can track down what is going wrong.
