Hi all, After merging the net tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && BLUESTONE && CANYONLANDS && GLACIER && EIGER && 440EPX && 440GRX && 440GX && 460SX && 405EX) selects IBM_EMAC_RGMII which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && CANYONLANDS && GLACIER && 440EP && 440EPX && 440GRX && 440GP && 440GX && 460SX && 405GP) selects IBM_EMAC_ZMII which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && 440GX && 460EX && 460SX && APM821xx) selects IBM_EMAC_TAH which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (SCSI_FC_ATTRS) selects SCSI_NETLINK which has unmet direct dependencies (NET) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && AKEBONO && 440EPX && 440GRX && 440GX && 440SPe && 460EX && 460SX && APM821xx && 405EX) selects IBM_EMAC_EMAC4 which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (SCSI_FC_ATTRS) selects SCSI_NETLINK which has unmet direct dependencies (NET) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && CANYONLANDS && GLACIER && 440EP && 440EPX && 440GRX && 440GP && 440GX && 460SX && 405GP) selects IBM_EMAC_ZMII which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && BLUESTONE && CANYONLANDS && GLACIER && EIGER && 440EPX && 440GRX && 440GX && 460SX && 405EX) selects IBM_EMAC_RGMII which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && 440GX && 460EX && 460SX && APM821xx) selects IBM_EMAC_TAH which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) warning: (PPC_CELL_NATIVE && AKEBONO && 440EPX && 440GRX && 440GX && 440SPe && 460EX && 460SX && APM821xx && 405EX) selects IBM_EMAC_EMAC4 which has unmet direct dependencies (NETDEVICES && ETHERNET && NET_VENDOR_IBM) drivers/built-in.o: In function `.scsi_nl_rcv_msg': scsi_netlink.c:(.text+0x16455c): undefined reference to `.netlink_ack' scsi_netlink.c:(.text+0x16456c): undefined reference to `.skb_pull' scsi_netlink.c:(.text+0x1645e0): undefined reference to `.netlink_capable' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.scsi_netlink_init': (.text+0x16471c): undefined reference to `.__netlink_kernel_create' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.scsi_netlink_exit': (.text+0x16477c): undefined reference to `.netlink_kernel_release' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_event': (.text+0x16ac1c): undefined reference to `.__alloc_skb' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_event': (.text+0x16ac60): undefined reference to `.__nlmsg_put' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_event': (.text+0x16ace0): undefined reference to `.netlink_broadcast' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_event': (.text+0x16ad24): undefined reference to `.kfree_skb' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_vendor_event': (.text+0x16ae48): undefined reference to `.__alloc_skb' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_vendor_event': (.text+0x16ae90): undefined reference to `.__nlmsg_put' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_vendor_event': (.text+0x16af1c): undefined reference to `.netlink_broadcast' drivers/built-in.o: In function `.fc_host_post_vendor_event': (.text+0x16af84): undefined reference to `.kfree_skb' drivers/built-in.o:(.toc+0x0): undefined reference to `init_net' Presumably caused by commit 5d6be6a5d486 ("scsi_netlink : Make SCSI_NETLINK dependent on NET instead of selecting NET"). I used the version of the net tree from next-20140915 (i.e. up to commit 9e07a422383c ("Merge branch 'bridge_vlan_filtering'")) for today. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
