[LU-1372] Luster client source on SUSE SLES 11 SP2 with kernel 3.0.13-0.27-default or higher

Fri, 25 Apr 2014 15:24:13 +0000

Dear Lustre developers

I tried to install lustre-client-source-2.2.51-2.6.32.36_0.5_default_g8bd0642 in one of my cluster using SUSE SLES 11.2 (kernel 3.0.13-0.27.1) and OFED-1.5.4 but I fall in a bunch of problems which I cannot solve. Following the summary of my tests:

1) Installed lustre-client-source-2.2.51-2.6.32.36_0.5_default_g8bd0642.x86_64.rpm and kernel-ib-devel-1.5.4-3.0.13_0.27_default.x86_64.rpm (generate by the OFED installation)

2) cd /usr/src/lustre-2.2.51 and configure it as follow:

./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27 --with-linux-obj=/usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27-obj/x86_64/default\
--with-o2ib=/usr/src/openib

Type 'make' to build Lustre.

3) make
...
/usr/src/lustre-2.2.51/libcfs/include/libcfs/linux/linux-lock.h:52:28: error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory

4) I tried to copy an old version of smp_lock.h (kernel 2.6.32.36-0.5-default from SLES11.1) to /usr/src/linux-3.0.13-0.27/include/linux and the compilation advanced until the following error:

/usr/src/lustre-2.2.51/libcfs/libcfs/watchdog.c:96: error: 'SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED' undeclared here (not in a function)
make[8]: *** [/usr/src/lustre-2.2.51/libcfs/libcfs/watchdog.o] Error 1
make[7]: *** [/usr/src/lustre-2.2.51/libcfs/libcfs] Error 2

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/lustre-2.2.51'
make: *** [all] Error 2

the line 96 in /usr/src/lustre-2.2.51/libcfs/libcfs/watchdog.c is not compatible with the new kernel and should be modify as follow:

-static cfs_spinlock_t lcw_pending_timers_lock = CFS_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;

+static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(lcw_pending_timers_lock);

5) make

At this point is clear to me that I cannot use lustre-client-source-2.2.51-2.6.32.36_0.5_default_g8bd0642 on SUSE SLES 11.2 and I would like to ask you if you can add SLES11.2 distribution on you development tree.

Thank you in advance
