init_timer has been deprecated (referenced in rc_init.c and rc_msg.c) and the driver no longer compiles.

I do not know if it is possible, but you could ask for an authorization to adapt the code to the new form of core 4.15 or it is not necessary and can be modified. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have seen codes from other controllers adapt the init_timer to the new declaration.

I wrote a patch for 4.15 kernels and it works flawlessly on my system since over one week now. I successfully run Ubuntu 18.04 with it. I got permission from AMD to share it, as long as I point out it is a non-official third-party patch and AMD will not be responsible for it. Have a look at my rcraid-patches github repository.

thanks and best regards.

Hey mawerick,

I downloaded your patch and successfully patched the driver, but still not getting any joy.

I'm using raid_linux_driver_8_01_00_039_public and compiling for kernel 4.15.0-20-generic.

I'm only getting

Hi tymondeusz,

can you please send the output of the following commands:

gcc --version

uname -a

cat /etc/lsb_release

I would prefer if you could enter those at https://github.com/martinkarlweber/rcraid-patches/issues​. This requires a github login, but would avoid unnessecary traffic here. I would post the result if I can locate the problem, so everybody stays informed.

did not work for me, it give a error: error: initialization of ‘int (*)(struct scsi_device *, unsigned int,  void *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct scsi_device *, int,  void *)’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
