#27 error compiling with kernel 2.6.9rc3

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I tried to compile affix-kernel (v3.0, v3.2 or v2.1.2)
with my linux-kernel 2.6.9rc3. There is an compile
error because of a missing struct-member "sk_pair". The
release-notes on kernel-source 2.6.9rc3 ay that the
member "sk_pair" is removed from kernel-source because
only AF_UNIX uses this member.

Is there a correction available?

don't know if this field really used inside kernel,
however go to /usr/src/linux/include/net/sock.h,
look for "struct sock" and add at the end if it's
declaration (before } sign) following line:
"struct sock *sk_pair;"
this is what helped to bypass compilation issue (and as far
as I understood is minimal non-causing problems patch)
linux-kernels 2.6.10, 2.6.12 affected as well
