Which git tree and branch are you using?
For linux-4.6-rc7, you should try aufs4.6 branch.

Hi J.R. Okajima,

Thanks for your reply. I have taken the aufs kernel sources from the following location and trying to add it to the latest aufs4.6.rc7 branch.
Hope this is the latest source
git://github.com/sfjro/aufs4-linux.git

Ok.
In my previous mail, I mentioned aufs4.6 branch, but it is not released
yet.
So use aufs4.x-rcN branch instead, and apply all necessary patches.

Ouch. I made a mistake again.
For aufs4-linux.git, no patches are necessary usually.
Sorry.

Hi J.R. Okajima,

Thanks for your help. I could now build aufs on linux-4.6-rc7 with aufs4.6 branch after applying necessary patches.
