[OpenAFS-devel] Build Failure on Fedora-42 and 43 with Linux 6.18.9-100

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

I was working on setting up Buildbot Workers for Fedora 42 (and 43).
As part of my setup script I run a build of openafs using the following
command set:

git clone git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
cd openafs
sh regen.sh && ./configure && make && make dest

However, the build failed with the following output:

  ...
  CC [M]  osi_vcache.o
  CC [M]  osi_vfsops.o
osi_vfsops.c: In function ‘afs_mount’:
osi_vfsops.c:56:12: error: implicit declaration of function ‘mount_nodev’

This is the head of the master branch.  Is there a known issue with Linux
6.18.9?

PS: The F43 build failed in the same place.  It's using 6.18.9-200 kernel.
