Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH next v2] batman-adv: Disable __ethtool_get_link_ksettings compat on < 3.2

On Tuesday 01 March 2016 08:33:37 Sven Eckelmann wrote:

The __ethtool_get_link_ksettings is currently used only for kernels >= 3.15. But the compat code is read by the compiler for each kernel. But kernels up to 3.1 never had the function __ethtool_get_settings which is used to emulate this function for kernels < 4.6. Therefore, kernels < 3.2 will fail to compile when this compatibility layer is enabled.

v2:

• correct version number of the supported kernel

This patch rejected in favor of the compat(-include) cleanup [1].

Kind regards, Sven
