View Incident: http://co-op.engr.sgi.com/BugWorks/code/bwxquery.cgi?search=Search&wlong=1&view_type=Bug&wi=808328 Submitter : dxm Submitter Domain : engr Assigned Engineer : dxm Assigned Domain : engr Assigned Group : xfs-linux Category : software Customer Reported : F Priority : 4 Project : xfs-linux Status : open Description : xfs_support uses EXPORT_SYMBOL to export a bunch of symbols into the kernel global symbol namespace. Some of the symbol names are quite generic and hence potentially clash with other exports. Case in point is "copyin" and "copyout". we can: - move code back into XFS - make simple functions static inline - prefix symbols and use macro aliasing to avoid changing all references to them - prefix symbols and change all references |
