[Netnice-kernels] Linux kernel compilation

[Scott B. <sco...@ve...>]

Hi Takashi,

I wanted to let you know where I am in the development.  In order to
start the port I need to be able to run a kernel that can at least
install a root vif on each real network interface.  I found that the
2.6.7 kernel in CVS with the tag netnice267 will not compile or link.
I can tell that the internals have not been completed.

Nevertheless, I think all I need to get started is a working
vif_attach that can be called when the kernel installs a real
interface.  In working toward that I have spent today hacking on the
cvs version and getting it to compile and link.

I don't think I need the the modified sk_buff structures yet nor do I
need process structures or vif_fork.  I think all I need at this point
is a working vif_attach (called vif_register in the linux cvs) and
vif_alloc to start nnfs.

I have attached a context diff of the changes that I have made to
netnice267 to get it to compile and link.  I will try to get it to run
with vif_attach early next week and add a fs/nnfs directory and then
submit that to your cvs.



Thanks,


Scott Brumbaugh
