The solution to the above problem is trivial, and amounts to adding EXPORT_SYMBOL(clear_user_skas); EXPORT_SYMBOL(clear_user_tt); to arch/um/kernel/ksyms.c. It should also be explained on many "kernel newbie" guides. However, please test both in SKAS and TT mode... I've some doubts about the clear_user_skas implementation, which IMHO might be faulty. > Is there an "easy" way to port the GFS to UML by adding some includes or > else or will this be a harder work?
