that doesnt work. it simply delays the problem to another set of underscores. so with that change, local_bh_enable/_local_bh_enable work, but now send_remote_softirq/__send_remote_softirq fail: CC kernel/softirq.o nano /tmp/cconhYy1.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cconhYy1.s:3664: Error: symbol `___ksymtab___send_remote_softirq' is already defined make[1]: *** [kernel/softirq.o] Error 1
so any option that involves using underscores as the separator will not work. pick something else, like "+" or "." or ... i dont see a problem with using these. -mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
