From 886927e4a4fb520d663c012f29d2f466915d7bd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:31:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] UAPI: Make uapi/linux/irqnr.h non-empty uapi/linux/irqnr.h was emitted by the UAPI disintegration script as an empty file because the parent linux/irqnr.h had no UAPI stuff in it, despite being marked with "header-y". Unfortunately, the patch program deletes the empty file when applying a kernel patch. It's not clear why this file is part of the UAPI at all. Looking in: /usr/include/linux/irqnr.h there's nothing there but a header reinclusion guard and a comment. So just stick a comment in there as a placeholder. Without this, if the kernel is fabricated from, say, a tarball and a patch, you can get this error when building x86_64 or usermode Linux (and probably others): include/linux/irqnr.h:4:30: fatal error: uapi/linux/irqnr.h: No such file or directory Reported-by: Randy Dunlap Reported-by: Alessandro Suardi Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Randy Dunlap cc: Alessandro Suardi --- include/uapi/linux/irqnr.h | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/irqnr.h b/include/uapi/linux/irqnr.h index e69de29bb2d..ae5704fa77a 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/irqnr.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/irqnr.h @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +/* + * There isn't anything here anymore, but the file must not be empty or patch + * will delete it. + */ -- 2.34.1
