[openib-general] Why doesn't the 24-kernel actually compile on 2.4 kernels?

Hmm... looks like newer kernels don't have set_user_nice.  For basic
testing you can just delete the call to set_user_nice in
services_thread.c (or change it to an assignment to current->nice I guess?).

    Mike>     #-DRHEL_ROUTE_FLOW_API \
    Mike>     -DIN_TREE_BUILD \
    Mike>     -DTS_HOST_DRIVER -D_NO_DATA_PATH_TRACE

This one is your fault I think :)  Putting that "#" in the front of a
line in the middle of a variable assignment causes make to ignore the
rest of the assignment (since it skips the "\" at the end of the line
as part of the comment).  Better to just delete the
-DRHEL_ROUTE_FLOW_API line.
