[Barrelfish-users] AHCI

[Georgios Varisteas]

Well, doing "make -j8" twice worked for me. And to think that I originally didn't do a parallel build to avoid having errors due to unmet dependencies!

cheers,
Georgios Varisteas

This is caused by the VFS library Hakefile not listing ahci_port as a
Mackerel device.

Of course, why should it?  The problem is that to access an AHCI device,
you need ahci_util.h, which is a public header file (it's in /include)
but nevertheless includes a device header (which really should be private).

The reason we didn't catch this is that, will parallel builds, sometimes
dependencies for /usr/ahcid would be built first, which would cause the
missing file to be generated.

More generally, moving forward, we should really have ahci encapsulated
as a block/bulk transport driver in /usr/drivers, and not have any
dependencies on it in the VFS library.

The quick fix is to add ahci_port (and probably ahci_hba) to the
Mackerel dependencies for VFS.

A better approach is to prevent ahci_util.h from including
dev/ahci_port_dev.h.
