Errors during Android Kernel build

While experimenting with the Android Kernel included in 3.1 Android several errors occurred which are described here.

Error

In file included from fs/coda/psdev.c:45:
include/linux/coda.h:223: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'u_quad_t'

Solution:

change

CONFIG_CODA_FS=m

CONFIG_CODA_FS=n

Error

kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'cpuset_can_attach':
kernel/cpuset.c:1386: error: 'task' undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/cpuset.c:1386: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/cpuset.c:1386: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [kernel/cpuset.o] Error 1

Solution:

in kernel/cpuset.c:1386 change

if ((current != task) && (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))) {
