[usbip-devel] Usbip on Linux 3.2

[Petr S. <ps...@gm...>]

Hi, I tried to use usbip on Linux 3.2 unsuccessfully.
So I tried to get it from the source and it wouldn't compile against 3.2.
I fixed the compilation errors and published the changes on
https://github.com/pjump/usbip.git

But even though it does compile now, I can't get it to work because I'm a
newb who doesn't know what he's doing.
I can only insmod the usbip_common_mod module from the driver directory and
the other two complain about missing symbols. `nm usbip_comon_mod.ko` shows
that usbip_common_mod does have the symbols the other two want, so I don't
know what's wrong.

It took me a while to resolve the compilation errors, so I hope it at least
might be helpful to you (perhaps at least a little).

Regards,
Petr

If you look at the version history, this code is horribly out of date
and will not apply against a modern kernel.
The good news is that usbip is part of the mainline kernel now, so you
should be able to just use the modules in /kernel/drivers/usb/usbip/
from your stock kernel (or from staging if it is an older one).
The userspace tools' source is also distributed with the kernel, but
most probably your distro packages it seperately (e.g.
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/usbip).
