Subject[PATCH] ceph: fix symbol versioning for ceph_monc_do_statfs
Message-ID<rJzMS-6In-27@gated-at.bofh.it>
The genksyms helper in the kernel cannot parse a type definition
like "typeof(((type *)0)->keyfld)" that is used in the DEFINE_RB_FUNCS
helper, causing the following EXPORT_SYMBOL() statement to be ignored
when computing the crcs, and triggering a warning about this:

WARNING: "ceph_monc_do_statfs" [fs/ceph/ceph.ko] has no CRC

To work around the problem, we can rewrite the type to reference
an undefined 'extern' symbol instead of a NULL pointer. This is
evidently ok for genksyms, and it no longer complains about the
line when calling it with 'genksyms -w'.

I've looked briefly into extending genksyms instead, but it seems
really hard to do. Jan Beulich introduced basic support for 'typeof'
a while ago in dc53324060f3 ("genksyms: fix typeof() handling"),
but that is not sufficient for the expression we have here.

Out of curiosity, did you figure out why is it that only
ceph_monc_do_statfs() is affected and not the other exports in
net/ceph/osd_client.c?

Thanks,

No, I did not investigate it further at that point. My guess is that
something resets the state of the genksyms parser when it encounters
some tokens (like the semicolon I added earlier, or an EXPORT_SYMBOL
statement), and that this happens in one file but not the other.
