Subject: [patch for-linus] memcg, kmem: fix build error when CONFIG_INET is disabled

Commit e1aab161e013 ("socket: initial cgroup code.") causes a build error
when CONFIG_INET is disabled in Linus' tree:

net/built-in.o: In function `sk_update_clone':
net/core/sock.c:1336: undefined reference to `sock_update_memcg'

sock_update_memcg() is only defined when CONFIG_INET is enabled, so fix it
by defining the dummy function without this option.

Checking the logs, Randy reported this in an email to LKML on
September 24 and didn't get a response...

unlikely that something that old would cause a build bug now, specially
that commit, that actually wraps things inside CONFIG_INET.

More likely caused by the recently merged
"memcg-cleanup-kmem-tcp-ifdefs.patch" in -mm by mhocko (CC'd)

As a matter of fact, I just tested, and it indeed start failing after
that patch.

Michal, since it is just a cleanup patch, I'd prefer just reverting if
you are okay with it.

Fengguang mentioned to me while testing my kmemcg tree that were a build
error occurring in the base tree, IOW, yours.

Fengguang, was that this error? Why hasn't it showed up before in the
test system?

Strange it didn't trigger during my (and Fenguang) build testing.

I think that taking David's patch makes more sense.

Yes, and the errors were sent to/cc Michal and [email protected]

I do find this error in the build error log:

(.text+0x867f): undefined reference to `sock_update_memcg'
2012-09-24 04:54:53 snb next:akpm:69921c3 x86_64-randconfig-s005 0a7f618

Unfortunately it was not reported because the build system could
miss/ignore build bugs due to various reasons/imperfections. It has
since then undergo lots of enhancements and as a result, the daily
reported errors have more than doubled. :-)

Thanks,
Fengguang

Not sure where this discussion is going. Do people who can't build their
kernel and have a fix for it need to verify that your build system shows
the same thing first? This isn't a false positive.

As I said in the first message, Randy reported this on September 24 (the
same date you're reporting above) and received no response when he
reported it to LKML here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134852557320089

Regardless, Linus' tree is messed up and I don't think we need to go back
reverting patches out of his tree when it's trivial to fix with my patch,
which Michal acked. Sheesh.

I am perfectly fine with your patch.

As I said when he first posted it: I see no reason to oppose cleanup
patches, as long as they don't break anything. Unfortunately it did, but
that is water under the bridge.

Again, since the goal of Michal patches was just to move things around,
I don't really care if you patch is applied or if Michal's is reverted.
