Description

server build now breaks in Centos 7/el7. client-only build still works OK.
example errors:

  CC [M]  /home/bogl/lustre-release/lustre/mdd/mdd_dir.o
/home/bogl/lustre-release/lustre/mdd/mdd_dir.c: In function ‘mdd_migrate_create’:

I believe this is due to the recent landing in master of commit de2d5808bd2987f76d2486272e1a9c192ba277d4; LU-5223 lmv: build master LMV EA dynamically build via readdir

It appears the gcc v4.8.2 in el7 is a bit pickier about some things than earlier gcc versions.

fwiw, changing the offending source line to:

memset(mgr_ea, 0, sizeof(*mgr_ea));

fixes the build.

Isn't it always? Ultimately though, this is good though.

[James A Simmons]

At least it is a nice simple patch.

I think the 1 line correction I commented on above & pushed as a patch is functionally correct as well as repairing the build, but I will appreciate good reviews on it to make sure I didn't mess up.

Have verified the build failure isn't specific to el7. It will happen with any gcc v4.8.x. I've seen it now with both v4.8.2 and v4.8.3. The fix is good for all cases so far.

Patch landed to Master.
