Kernel 2.4.18-pre9-mjc2 breaks some netfilter modules

Hello,

	I've upgraded from 2.4.18-pre3-mjc3 to 2.4.18-pre9-mjc2 and the following 

netfilter modules are now broken:

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-pre9-mjc2-kb1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_owner.o
depmod:         pidhash_bits
depmod:         pidhash_size
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-pre9-mjc2-kb1/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_time.o
depmod:         get_fast_time
make: *** [_modinst_post] Erreur 1

I'm using iptables 1.2.5 (debian Sid package)

Hoping this can help you,

I don't know what happend with regard to this. The owner match module compiles on my system without any problems on all kernels up to 2.4.18-rc1.

I assume that the 'mjc2' patches change something with regard to the pid hash, thus breaking the netfilter module. Whoever makes this change should take care of modifying the ipt_owner module.

Since the change is not in the unpatched mainstream kernel, I'm not concerned about this.

This is a recent change in the 2.4.18 kernel, removing get_fast_time and using do_gettimeofday instead.

The time match from iptables-1.2.5 still used the old get_fast_time() function and needs to be updated. the time match is a contributed patch from Fabrice MARIE <[email protected]>, so please ask him to update his patch to work with recent kernel versions.

Thanks for reporting this to us.

Live long and prosper

The following output from an attempted compile of kernel 2.5.6 indicates to me that the initio scsi module has yet to be ported over to the new code. I am not a programmer so am just throwing it out there as something that would be nice to have done if I am eventually ever going to use 2.5.6 and beyond with my scsi hardware :-))

I've noticed this, and already have a fix slated for 2.4.18-rc1-mjc1. Thanks for reporting it though. Every little bit helps.
