| |
Andrew,
The first patch in this series is a replacement patch for the prempt-fix patch I sent earlier this morning. There was a missing paren in that previous version.
Adding this to 2.6.9-rc2-mm1 (just after lockmeter-2.patch) fixes the preempt compile problem on ia64, at least. However, I then started getting a missing symbol for generic_raw_read_trylock. Hence the second patch of this series.
(It is the nature of this lockmeter fix for the COOL bits that whenever a change is made to kernel/spinlock.c, you need to make a correspoding change to the kernel/lockmeter.c code that parallels spinlock.c. I don't see any good way around this.)
Finally, Zwane has suggested making in_lock_functions() an inline. I sent him and you a simple patch to do that, and if that is applied, you then need the third patch of this series.
All three of these patches are intended to follow lockmeter-2.patch in the series.
I compiled lockmeter on/off, preempt on/off (all 4) kernels on ia64. I'm working on doing that for i386, but my i386 machines are much slower than an 8-way Altix for doing compiles. :-) I'll test some of these as well.
Best Regards,
Ray
