[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#620151: fglrx-modules-dkms Linux 2.6.39 support

[Miguel Colon]

Package: fglrx-modules-dkms
Version: 1:11-3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Hello:

 <linux/spinlock_types.h> had the following comment until 2.6.38:

 /*
  * SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED defeats lockdep state tracking and is hence
  * deprecated.
  * Please use DEFINE_SPINLOCK() or __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED() as
  * appropriate.
  */
 #define SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED	__SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(old_style_spin_init)

This definition got removed in 2.6.39. A possible solution is included
in the attached DEP-3 compliant patch.
The patch restores the missing define locally until it gets fixed
upstream by AMD.

I tested this patch with 2.6.38, 2.6.38.1 , 2.6.38.2 and 2.6.39-rc1
with fglrx 11.2-2 and 11.3-1  and all seems to work.

I removed the smp_lock.h part of the patch that I had made for 11-2
since it got included as the 06 patch in 11-3 and I was waiting for
the merge window for 2.6.39 to close. The smp_lock.h issue technically
only affected 2.6.39-rc0 and up since that commit got merged during
the 2.6.39 merge window that ended today.

Hope this helps,
Miguel
