[mpls-linux-general] compiling with kernels >= 2.6.11

[Daniel Q. <da...@ch...>]

hi,

I'm trying to compile mpls-linux with a 2.6.11 kernel (need that version
for Xen)

I used the linux-kernel patch from mpls-linux-1.946a but it appears to
be using a feature removed sometime after 2.6.9

-------------8<--------------------
net/mpls/af_mpls.c:40: error: `sock_no_release' undeclared here (not in
a function)
net/mpls/af_mpls.c:40: error: initializer element is not constant
net/mpls/af_mpls.c:40: error: (near initialization for
`mpls_sk_ops.release')
make[3]: *** [net/mpls/af_mpls.o] Error 1

I've seen some posts mentioning support for newer kernel versions being
available in the P4 depot.

has anyone got some crib notes on compiling for newer kernels?

I've had a quick look around the P4 depot but I'm not sure which tree I
should checkout.

regards,
Daniel Quinlan
