Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] net: ethernet: i40e/i40evf fix build error

i40e: function __i40e_add_stat_strings can never be inlined because it uses
variable argument lists.

i40evf: A risk of "Multiple definition" from cross-including.

I am working on aarch64 platform and unfortunately the config file is MODULE.
So I missed the buildin test... Sorry for pushing this patch to v3 version...

Now I tested this patch with buildin and modules.

Tested on: x86_64, make ARCH=i386

Hello all,

The i40e_ethtool_stats.h is just included by i40e/i40e_ethtool.c. So the
static doesn't make any affect. And Carolyn's team is working rebuild
i40e and i40evf.

Cheers,

Can't have non-inline function in a header file.
There is a risk of "Multiple definition" from cross-including.

Hello Jacob,

Since Carolyn' team is working this, I think we don't need this patch
anymore because this header file is only for ethtool.c.

The cross-including scenario simply doesn't exist.

If you agree, please ignore this patch and just only review the [1/2].


Cheers,
Dongsheng

Hello Dongsheng,

The commonization effort we're working on is prioritizing our newest drivers. The i40e work is still being scoped, so we should fix this problem as needed now and not wait.

I apologize for any miscommunication. Was trying to let people know that we aware of the issue and are trying to make progress in that direction.

Thanks,

Carolyn

There's no point to keeping *static* function in the header file (unless it's
also *inline*).

This patch fixes the build issue, and is fine with me.

Thanks,
Jake

Yes, we need it for now. Because there is a copy file at i40e dir, and
a "Multiple definition" will show up when we buildin i40e&i40evf and
remove this *static* .

Cause the header file is only used in ethtool.c so we can keep this
static, and another option is not touch this header.

As I replied to Jacob's email earlier, we can do without touch i40evf at
all. Because this header is only for one and not included in another.


Cheers,

Dongsheng

After Sergei agree. ;)

Dave wanted a fix sent to netdev by end of day today. I think the best immediate solution is to just migrate that code back into the i40e_ethtool.c and i40evf_ethtool.c files, rather than only the single function.

I'm going to send that patch to netdev now, since Jeff Kirsher is on vacation.

Thanks,
Jake
