up_read/up_write redefinitions in asm/semaphore.h and linux/usbdevice_fs.h

[Olaf Hering]

Hi,

I have some redefinitions when I compile usbdevfs:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.0.SuSE/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing
-D__powerpc__ -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2
-Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring    -c -o inode.o inode.c
In file included from inode.c:41:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.0.SuSE/include/linux/usbdevice_fs.h:173: warning:
`up_read' redefined
/usr/src/linux-2.4.0.SuSE/include/asm/semaphore.h:186: warning: this is
the location of the previous definition
/usr/src/linux-2.4.0.SuSE/include/linux/usbdevice_fs.h:174: warning:
`up_write' redefined


We had this patch in the linuxppc_2_3 tree:

It is gone in linuxppc_2_4 tree.

The USB layer should proably not use these generic names.
How can we fix that?
