I had a failure building NVIDIA_kernel/nv.c (the nvidia driver):
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-4191/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.tar.gz
It uses pte = *pte_offset(pg_mid_dir, address); but this patch removes pte_offset(). 1) what is the correct fix (use pte_offset_kernel?)? I'd assume so, but since I don't know exactly what the nvidia driver does I can't tell you for sure. 2) in general, is it wise to remove pte_offset() or should it
be left for compatability?
It should be removed, otherwise some drivers would compile but silently fail (because pte_offset() wouldn't be the right choice from the two alternatives. regards, Rik -- A: No. Q: Should I include quotations after my reply? http://www.surriel.com/ http://guru.conectiva.com/ | ||||||||||
