Build error when adding ASHMEM support

[Porting beginner]

Hi,

I have linux 2.6.23 and used linux-2.6.26-android-m5rc14 as reference to port
android changes.

I am able to port all code, BINDER, LOGGER, LOW_MEMORY_KILL successfully.
Power and ASHMEM related code is not there with 2.6.23.

When I am starting init , I am getting segmentation fault.

When I debug using strace, found that it may ASHMEM support from kernel.
So I tried to port ashmem code: http://git.android.com/?p=kernel.git;a=commit;h=7c93d1ee2eba929ed9496d58e473265b470aca8e to my kernel (2.6.23).

When I am trying to compile my 2.6.23 with these changes its failing with error related to shmem_zero_setup functions declaration.

I am see the new code added from 2.6.25 ( to my 2.6.23 ), there is extern of shmem_zero_setup function, old function had only one arg where
other new one has two args so old code from ( mm/mmap) still using this function with one arg and new ( in mm/tinyshmem.c) using
with two args.

Whats should I do to overcome this problem ?

Thanks

Hi,

are you using m5 kernel with Android 0.9 or 1.0? They are not
compatible, you should use kernel 0.9 or 1.0 (which are equal).

I am using m5-rc14 kernel, which Android I should use to over come this problem ?
My SoC kernel is based on 2.6.23 so right now I want to use m5-rc14 ( linux 2.6.23 based android ) only.

Thanks again.

Hi,

you should use Android m5-rc14, newer versions will not work without
updating the kernel to a new release.
