Build error for 6.1 kernel version

[sergiall]

Have a nice day! I try to build this module v5.3.9 branch with MrRob0-X patches within the kernel tree, but get errors:

drivers/staging/rtl8188/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:1621:9: error: too many arguments to function ‘netif_napi_add’ 1621 | netif_napi_add(ndev, &adapter->napi, rtw_recv_napi_poll, RTL_NAPI_WEIGHT); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from drivers/staging/rtl8188/include/osdep_service_linux.h:30, from drivers/staging/rtl8188/include/osdep_service.h:50, from drivers/staging/rtl8188/include/drv_types.h:26, from drivers/staging/rtl8188/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:17: ./include/linux/netdevice.h:2562:1: note: declared here 2562 | netif_napi_add(struct net_device *dev, struct napi_struct *napi,

Then i'm try to change the "netif_napi_add" defenition with "netif_napi_add_weight" and file "os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c" compiled without error, and module 8188eu too, but:

make KERNELRELEASE=6.1.1-lmk-060101-generic++ ARCH=x86 KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=060101.202212250000 -f ./Makefile CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CC [M] drivers/staging/rtl8188/os_dep/osdep_service.o LD [M] drivers/staging/rtl8188/8188eu.o MODPOST Module.symvers ERROR: modpost: "prandom_u32" [drivers/staging/rtl8188/8188eu.ko] undefined! As i investigate, 6.1 kernel have some changes in {include/linux/netdevice.h, include/linux/prandom.h}, but i dont know how resolve this causes here, please help me (__

[hussinHelal]

i have the same issue to, looks like we are going to have errors every kernel update

[jinjiachen]

i was compiling the different module: rtl8188eus. but i have run into the similar problem. My kernel version is 6.1.7-arch1-1 and my console output is following: /tmp/rtl8188eus_new/rtl8188eus_new/os_dep/osdep_service.c: 在函数‘rtw_random32’中: /tmp/rtl8188eus_new/rtl8188eus_new/os_dep/osdep_service.c:2582:16: 错误：implicit declaration of function ‘prandom_u32’; did you mean ‘prandom_u32_max’?

[Masrkai]

even from Aur build using paru got this error :- Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.1.6-zen1-1-zen (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/8188eu/5.3.9.r184.f8ead57/build/make.log for more information idk wth changes every kernel update wth is wrong xD

check pull requests, there are waiting for accepts patches

Thanks a lot!!!

[PanDa-Dax]

I get the following error in the screenshot

[Terracuk]

I get same error as above with v6.1.21 can anyone help? Or release a v6.1.21 version please?

[gglluukk]

@Terracuk sudo make install

[Terracuk]

I get:

Install: cannot stat 8188eu.ko : no such file or directory

Make *** makefile install error 1

[gglluukk]

i meant that error which @PanDa-Dax had.

if you're unable to compile: update your distro, delete driver's source and download it again.

other option is to use rtl8xxxu coming with newer kernels which supports monitor mode too.

[markyangcc]

Since kernel API changed, some not modifoed files may failed when building.

Replace netif_napi_add to netif_napi_add_weight to fix it

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=899b8cd0d392

[gglluukk]

call to netif_napi_add() calls netif_napi_add_weight() so let it keep being compatible with older versions see: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.0.19/source/include/linux/netdevice.h#L2553
