Subject: [BUILD FAILURE 03/04] Next April 21 : x86_64 randconfig [fs/nfs/nfs.ko]

I think i am observing this for the first time in any randconfig builds:

BUILD arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Root device is (8, 3)
Setup is 13020 bytes (padded to 13312 bytes).
System is 5625 kB
CRC a80d60ee
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#1)
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 514 modules
ERROR: "find_last_bit" [fs/nfs/nfs.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
---

Trond, can you please merge
http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=bhalevy/linux-pnfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=9f32944d1bca79038ef3e9c9a27f11803d093d8e
into your nfsv41 and linux-next branches?

I've placed it right before "nfs41: free slot"
in git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/bhalevy/linux-pnfs.git nfs41-for-2.6.31

(see also this thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.next/6951)

Thanks,

Benny

Could we just push that straight into the kernel? It seems like a
no-brainer...

Absolutely. Fred already sent it to the linux-kbuild mailing list
and got no response, maybe we'll get lucky this time :-)
Though I'm not sure who should shepherd it in.

Rusty, since this changes your code in lib/Makefile
can you please ack this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] lib: find_last_bit.o needed by a module only, move it from lib to obj

It is possible to configure the kernel such that find_last_bit is
referenced only by modules, causing linking to fail with

ERROR: "find_last_bit" [fs/nfs/nfs.ko] undefined!
