Description of problem: xfrm_get_type() is not exported in FC4. In releases prior to FC4 it was. Whether this is the case with FC5 is unknown. Checking the file net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c on line 120 one should see that the function does not end with EXPORT() as does many other functions in the file. Our organization is using a driver that depends on this function being exported. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.15-1.1833 How reproducible: Compile and link any driver that references xfrm_get_type(). Steps to Reproduce: Actual results: Compilation fails during link complaining of xfrm_get_type() not found. Expected results: Driver should link. Additional info:
readding a removed export is something that has to be done upstream. Otherwise we end up in a situation with dozens of projects asking for certain symbols added back, resulting in modules that only work against one specific distro kernel, which is a bad thing.
