Subject: [RFC] taint/module: Fix problems when out-of-kernel driver defines true or false
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2016 13:55:32 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161224195532.15128-1-Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> (raw)

Commit 7fd8329ba502 ("taint/module: Clean up global and module taint
flags handling") used the key words true and false as character members
of a new struct. These names cause problems when out-of-kernel modules
such as VirtualBox include their own definitions of true and false.

Fixes: 7fd8329ba502 ("taint/module: Clean up global and module taint flags handling")
