I do not see these errors when building the kernel modules with kernel
5.3.0-rc3. The patch I posted is sufficient for me. Note I am using an
unmodified kernel from mainline. A kernel obtained from a disto might have other
modifications.
This isn't a 5.3.0-rc3 issue.
The kernel patches causing the issue are a set of 7 a in the linux-next tree
and targeting the 5.4 kernel . As such, Cyrax's patch is incorrect, for
production
it should be comparing >= 5.4.0. It will however DTRT on a linux-next kernel
that calls itself 5.3.something, but will *not* work on a mainline Linus tree.
What I do during the merge of a new kernel, before -rc1 is released is to
manually edit the Makefile to increment the kernel version and make the
EXTRA_VERSION be -rc0. That way the conditional statements work with mainline.
I have enough trouble keeping up with mainline, thus I leave -next alone.
