Kernel 2.2.15pre15 compilation problem in fs/dquot.c

Hi,

Compilation of the 2.2.15pre15 kernel failed with the following
error messages in the final link step:
  fs/fs.o: In function `sys_quotactl':
  fs/fs.o(.text+0x15ff9): undefined reference to `in_egroup_p'
For triggering this error it should be sufficient to enable
quota support.
As far as I could find out this is due to a change between
2.2.14 and 2.2.15pre15 in the file fs/dquot.c:

1587c1585
< (type == GRPQUOTA && in_group_p(id))) &&

---
> 			     (type == GRPQUOTA && !in_egroup_p(id))) &&

where the former is from 2.2.14 and the later from 2.2.15pre15. I have not attempted to find the reasons for this change but the function is definitely not available because it is defined as static int in_egroup_p(gid_t grp) in line 353 of kernel/sysctl.c.

Kind regards, Konrad Bernloehr
