Description Martin Mrazik 2005-09-19 12:35:12 UTC

I'm unable to compile linux test project in SL10 because the kernel tests are
using PID_MAX_DEFAULT macro from <linux/threads.h>. However PID_MAX_DEFAULT is
using CONFIG_BASE_SMALL macro which is not defined in this scope.

Comment 1 Thorsten Kukuk 2005-09-19 14:05:48 UTC

Fix linux test project. <linux/*> and <asm/*> header files should never
be included from userland sources.

Comment 2 Martin Mrazik 2005-09-19 16:00:51 UTC

thanks. sorry for annoying. we will fix it.

gernot: 

should I fix this somehow? The problem is in the kernel/syscall testcases.

For some of the tests -1 could be used instead of PID_MAX_DEFAULT+1. However in
others it would be better to use some positive value (in this way the test will
test more code than just some "if (pid != -1) return -EINVAl;" constructs).

Unfortunately this seems to be quite difficult. I talked with some guys from
suse labs and the only thing we made up is the /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max file.
However this file does not exist in 2.4 kernels (SLES8) :-)

Comment 3 Martin Mrazik 2006-01-17 15:20:54 UTC

seems to be fixed in latest ltp from /work/SRC
