[Yaffs] fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.c:286:29: error: ‘struct file’ h…

Hello YAFFS2 people,

I have trouble with getting yaffs compiled for linux 4.1.

Error message is:

  CC [M]  fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.o
fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.c: In function ‘yaffs_readpage_nolock’:
fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.c:286:29: error: ‘struct file’ has no member named ‘f_dentry’
  obj = yaffs_dentry_to_obj(f->f_dentry);
                             ^

fs/yaffs2/yaffs_vfs.c:286:8: note: in expansion of macro ‘yaffs_dentry_to_obj’
  obj = yaffs_dentry_to_obj(f->f_dentry);

In OpenWRT is the same error encountered ( https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20323 )


Should YAFFS2 work with Linux >= 4.0 ?
If so, how? In other words:
How to get beyond: "error: ‘struct file’ has no member named ‘f_dentry’" ?
