![]() After a change to the bnxt_re driver, it fails to link when
CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS is disabled:
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/ib_verbs.o: in function `bnxt_re_handler_BNXT_RE_METHOD_ALLOC_PAGE':
ib_verbs.c:(.text+0xd64): undefined reference to `ib_uverbs_get_ucontext_file'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/ib_verbs.o:(.rodata+0x168): undefined reference to `uverbs_idr_class'
aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/ib_verbs.o:(.rodata+0x1a8): undefined reference to `uverbs_destroy_def_handler'
The problem is that the 'bnxt_re_uapi_defs' structure is built
unconditionally and references a couple of functions that are never
really called in this configuration but instead require other functions
that are left out.
Adding an #ifdef around the new code, or a Kconfig dependency would
address this problem, but adding the compile-time check inside of the
UAPI_DEF_CHAIN_OBJ_TREE_NAMED() macro seems best because that also
addresses the problem in other drivers that may run into the same
dependency.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
