Problem :
- csum_partial_copy appears as an unresolved symbol in ibmtr_cs.o
Fix :
- the culprit is in drivers/net/tokenring/ibmtr.c. The big FIXME in
arch/i386/lib/old-checksum.c indicates the function to be obsolete (at
least on x86). ibmtr.c didn't check wether the copy went right or not, thus
it now uses the same csum_partial_copy_generic as ./net/ethernet/eth.c does
FWIW, 1) it shouldn't need any check here, 2) the dest arg looks right
(following the src one is more penible), 3) I hope it was supposed to work
before :o)
Checks done :
- make bzImage; make modules -> ok
- depmod no longer protests about it
Question :
Would it be welcome to suppress the occurences of csum_partial_copy on
architectures where csum_partial_copy_generic is available ?
Some #include may be modified this way.
