[Lustre-discuss] An issue of building OFED 1.3.1 agaist lustre 1.8.5 SLES 10 sp2 patched kernel

[Larry]

Hi all,

Recently I find an issue when building the lustre 1.8.5 from souce.
After the patched kernel 2.6.16-0.69.1-smp x66_64's installation,
building the ofa_kernel of OFED 1.3.1 failed. It says that an inline
function skb_reset_mac_header redefined. So I so some hacks in the
source code. the function skb_reset_mac_header defines twice indeed,
the one is in ofa_kernel
.../kernel_addons/backport/2.6.16_sles10_sp2/include/linux/skbuff.h,
the other is in linux kernel .../include/linux/skbuff.h. Installation
completes after commenting one. The previous kernels seem not
including the function skb_reset_mac_header in skbuff.h.
