Subject: doubt about path_walk() function

Hi all,

I am trying to compile the project McAfee LinuxShield with kernel
2.6.27-9 and I have a problem with function path_walk():
linuxshield/scan.c|998| error: implicit declaration of function ‘path_walk’

Searching in the internet, I can see that this function was removed in
one some kernel version, so how can I fix this problem ?

best regards,

It has been replaced with vfs_path_lookup, the fix for another fs looks like this:
- ret = path_walk(cachename, &nd);
+ ret = vfs_path_lookup(nnpfsp->cachedir, nnpfsp->cacheroot,
+ cachename,
+ flags & O_CREAT ? LOOKUP_PARENT : 0,
+ &nd);
