From 6fab3e1fbc83e6d61e8c28ceab513274183a96f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 12:45:37 +0100 Subject: Staging: Comedi: Build only on arches providing PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On architectures that don't define PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE, the Comedi driver turns into tragedy: CC [M] drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.o drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c: In function ‘comedi_buf_alloc’: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c:505:41: error: ‘PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE’ undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c:505:41: note: each undeclared identifier is rep orted only once for each function it appears in make[3]: *** [drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.o] Error 1 Restrict the driver to only those architectures that define PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE. PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE is a kludge - some system architectures such as SGI IP27 are even uable to offer uncached operation - at least in the way an unwitting driver might assume. I haven't looked in details how the driver is using the area vmaped with PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE but maybe doing it XFS-style using cached memory and the flush_kernel_vmap_range / invalidate_kernel_vmap_range APIs in conjunction with the DMA API is a practical alternative.
