[gentoo-dev] linux-2.4.21_rc8-gss problem in kernel/sched.c

[Jason Cooper]

If this has been mentioned before, please ignore.  I emerged
linux-2.4.21_rc8-gss a week or so ago and finally got around to
compiling it (need crypto to access old HD).  Found the following error:

on line 922 of kernel/sched.c there is a redefinition of
set_cpus_allowed().  It would appear to be the result of a ill-behaved
patch as it is an exact copy of the definition below it.  All that was
necessary was to delete the offending function (including 
#if CONFIG_SMP 
#endif /* CONFIG_SMP */

I would submit a patch, but it doesn't seem right to patch over a 
patch? :)

Again, if this is known, please ignore.  If you need more info, please
let me know.

Thanks for putting out an awsome distro.

Cooper.

The best way to take care fo this would be to file a bug on
bugs.gentoo.org and assign it to x86-kernel@gentoo.org.  That way the
kernel team will get the bug and have tracking information on it and
also an easy way to contact you and collaborate on the problem.
