Building on RHEL 8.8 Fails due to function redefinition. #12
Description
I'm no kernel expert but the checks for LINUX_VERSION_CODE appear to not account for some functions being available much earlier than stated.
For example I get
/home/joss/memflow-kvm/memflow-kmod/mmap_lock.h:9:20: error: redefinition of ‘mmap_write_lock’
static inline void mmap_write_lock(struct mm_struct *mm)
Which was resolved by removing the check for kernel version 5.8.0 in mmap_lock.h
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(5,8,0)
Another error that pops up is:
error: macro "kvm_for_each_memslot" requires 3 arguments, but only 2 given kvm_for_each_memslot2(slot, bkt, slots)
Which was resolved by removing the check for kernel version 5.17.0 in vmtools.c
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(5,17,0)
It seems these kernel features are being found in much older kernels than expected, but this also causes issues with pre-built installation using dkms.
