Subject: build bug on kfree(struct sk_buff*)
Hi David,
Maybe I should have sent this to you (and netdev) in the first place.
I wrote:

My question is, is there something wrong with this?

I am now trying allyesconfig. The errors are due to:
* In net/core/dev.c +2674 a struct sk_buff* was freed,
* when assigning kfree to a function pointer.
* Several kfrees, but I don't know why gcc complains:
In block/genhd.c:
struct timer_rand_state *random,
In drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_modes.c:
struct edid *edid,
In kernel/exit.c:
struct futex_pi_state *pi_state_cache;
In drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:
struct si_sm_data *si_sm;
e.g:
/home/roel/dnld/src/kernel/git/linux-2.6/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function 'try_smi_init':
/home/roel/dnld/src/kernel/git/linux-2.6/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:2960: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct si_sm_data'
/home/roel/dnld/src/kernel/git/linux-2.6/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:2960: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
/home/roel/dnld/src/kernel/git/linux-2.6/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: In function 'cleanup_one_si':
/home/roel/dnld/src/kernel/git/linux-2.6/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3123: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct si_sm_data'
/home/roel/dnld/src/kernel/git/linux-2.6/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:3123: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
However, allyes wasn't finished yet.

But also in cases where the variable is a void*, e.g. net/core/dev.c +4720
below.
I can quite easily change these kfree's to _kfree, however, I am not sure
if that's the best strategy.
