[Pkg-ofed-devel] ofed 1.4.2, lustre and 2.6.37.39 kernel

[Patrick Winnertz]

Hey,

I've a strange problem using your ofa-kernel-source package (1.4.2) in 
combination with lustre (1.8.3) and the sles11 kernel (2.6.27.39). On a amd64 
server the module builds fine, however on a i386 server ofa-kernel fails to 
build with this error msg:

/usr/src/modules/ofa-kernel/fs/nfs/file.c: In function ‘nfs_write_begin’:
/usr/src/modules/ofa-kernel/fs/nfs/file.c:354: error: implicit declaration of 
function ‘__grab_cache_page’
/usr/src/modules/ofa-kernel/fs/nfs/file.c:354: warning: assignment makes 
pointer from integer without a cast

‘page_mkwrite’ specified in initializer

BUILD FAILED!

This should be fixed by the kernel_patches/backport/2.6.27_sles11.patch, 
however I'm wondering why it works on amd64 and not on i386. Do you know this 
problem? And if yes: Do you have a fix for it somewhere? :-)

Greetings
Patrick
