[lustre-discuss] Misplaced position for two glibc checks

[Åke Sandgren]

Hi!

The tests for LC_GLIBC_SUPPORT_FHANDLES and 
LC_GLIBC_SUPPORT_COPY_FILE_RANGE must be in the "core" set of configure 
tests, i.e. in the
===
AC_DEFUN([LC_CONFIGURE], [
AC_MSG_NOTICE([Lustre core checks
===
section. The reason for that is that they are required for the 
client/server utils code and not only for the kernel part.

This pops up if configuring with --disable-modules --enable-client and 
making the client utilities only, think of a make dkms-debs that does 
NOT produce the kernel modules but only the DKMS package and the utilities.

This probably won't pop up easily without another change I have 
regarding the setting of CPPFLAGS for uapi which are also needed for 
client utils only builds.


PS
Can you point me to the URL for how to correctly produce PR's again, I 
lost that info some time ago .... I seem to remember there being some 
more steps to do than I'm used to.
