Subject: BLK_DEV_MD with CONFIG_NET
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 20:05:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070320200538.5270d636.randy.dunlap@oracle.com> (raw)


drivers/md/md.c calls csum_partial().

IF CONFIG_NET=n and BLK_DEV_MD=y, if arch/*/lib/Makefile
puts csum-partial.o or checksum.o into lib-y, the function
is present.  (Of course, if the function is placed in
obj-y, there is no problem.)

If CONFIG_NET=n and BLK_DEV_MD=n, if arch/*/lib/Makefile
puts csum-partial.o or checksum.o into lib-y, the function
is removed from the kernel image due to having no built-in
callers.

Build a kernel with CONFIG_NET-n and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=m.
Unless csum_partial() is built and kept by some arch Makefile,
the result is:
ERROR: "csum_partial" [drivers/md/md-mod.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2


Any suggested solutions?
