Hi All,

The xen-gntalloc, xen-netfront, xen-blkfront, and xen-netback drivers
fail to link on ARM today with the following error:

ERROR: "phys_to_mach" [drivers/xen/xen-gntalloc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "phys_to_mach" [drivers/net/xen-netfront.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "phys_to_mach" [drivers/net/xen-netback/xen-netback.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "phys_to_mach" [drivers/block/xen-blkfront.ko] undefined!

This is with Linus' tree as of this morning.

I'm guessing this is because the mfn_to_pfn and pfn_to_mfn functions
are inlined and reference phys_to_mach directly, and that isn't
exported to modules. Thoughts?

The patch below seems to fix this, but I'm not sure it's the desired
approach. I added the export for mach_to_phys just in case.

Thank you for letting me know of the problem and thank you for the
patch!

The approach is OK but mach_to_phys should not be exported.
Can you please resent the patch only exporting phys_to_mach and with
your signed-off-by line so that I can send it to Linus as soon as
possible?
