Why have the #if at all?

Hmm... some old version compilers do not define __linux__ automatically (e.g. or32-linux-gcc 4.5.1-or32-1.0rc1, which is the latest cross compiler for openrisc, though).

If not define __linux__, the compiler will report error (u_quad_t is not defined).

When we remove "#if defined(__linux__)" from "include/linux/coda.h", the compiler will not report error, and 'cdev_t' will be defined as 'dev_t', not 'u_quad_t' (I guess, it is an implicit bug).

In "uapi/include/*", only "coda.h" has "#if defined(__linux__)", maybe they want multiple OS can share the same "coda.h" file (at least, we can not say it is a bad idea).

Neither suitable to define __linux__ in "include/linux/coda.h".

All together, I think:

the direct cause:
"uapi/include/coda.h" wants to share itself for multiple OS (so they need check __linux__).
(in "uapi/include/*", only coda.h need check __linux__)

the root cause:
the compiler for linux should define __linux__ automatically, the latest version of gcc has done, but some of the old version is not. most of cross compilers have merged their code into gcc main tree, but still left some (e.g. openrisc).
(at least, I can not build openrisc from gcc main tree correctly, but most of others can)
some of latest cross compilers still use old version of gcc, (still not define __linux__ automatically).

The related code in "uapi/linux/coda.h" is below:

-------------------------------code begin-------------------------------

73 #if defined(DJGPP) || defined(__CYGWIN32__)
74 #ifdef KERNEL
75 typedef unsigned long u_long;

OH, sorry, what I said about openrisc cross-compiler is not precise.

Need a patch for openrisc (just like another architectures have done):

But for "include/linux/coda.h", I still suggest to check __linux__ whether defined, at least it can find the building issues.

And next, I will send the related patch to openrisc mailing list.

:-)

Probably not. __linux__ is predefined by gcc.

Using an #ifdef __linux__ might make some sense in in include/uapi, but not in include/linux.

Hmm... since "linux/coda.h" will include "uapi/linux/coda.h", it is necessary to check __linux__ whether defined.

For some old compilers which is still widely used, they really do not define __linux__, when use these compilers, we need give a necessary check, if can not pass, need report BUILD_BUG().

e.g. for some versions of openrisc, please ref:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/30/888. (it is in applying work flow).

Thanks.

Why have the #if at all?
Hmm... if any members have some questions about the fix, commonly it means the related fix need additional improvement.

Is it better to use BUILD_BUG() for the fix ?
Probably not. __linux__ is predefined by gcc.
Using an #ifdef __linux__ might make some sense in in include/uapi, but not in include/linux.

In fact, in my opinion "uapi/linux/coda.h" should not content "#ifdef __linux__", since it is already in "uapi/linux/" sub-directory.

If it still wants to universal enough to multiple OS, need move it from "uapi/linux/coda.h" to "uapi/coda/coda.h".

Hmm... since "linux/coda.h" will include "uapi/linux/coda.h", it is necessary to check __linux__ whether defined.
For some old compilers which is still widely used, they really do not define __linux__, when use these compilers, we need give a necessary check, if can not pass, need report BUILD_BUG().
e.g. for some versions of openrisc, please ref:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/30/888. (it is in applying work flow).
Thanks.

'#else' is useless, need remove.

Probably not. __linux__ is predefined by gcc.
Using an #ifdef __linux__ might make some sense in in include/uapi, but not in include/linux.

In "include/uapi/", only 2 files contant __linux__: (especially latest compiler has already defined __linux__)

  [root@gchenlinux uapi]# grep -rn __linux__ *
  drm/drm.h:39:#if defined(__KERNEL__) || defined(__linux__)
  linux/coda.h:100:#if defined(__linux__)

So now and future, it is not common enough to check __linux__ globally.

So I still suggest to let the related modules theirselves to check __linux__ whether defined.
