[Guillaume Hain <zedtux@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well now I have a DKMS package, trying to compile on a fresh Ubuntu installation that fail, due to this error.
So the package is not able to install correctly my module.

Could someone give an update regarding this issue?
Is it possible do find a workaround until this issue is fixed?

Title:
  netfilter_ipv4.h:13:47: fatal error: limits.h: No such file or
  directory

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm writing kernel module that include the file linux/netfilter_ipv4.h
  from linux-headers.

  In order to have access to IP Hooks I'm doing a "#undef __KERNEL__" before the include.
  When I do the make it complains with the error message:

  $ make
  make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-15-generic/build M=/home/zedtux/Developments/kernel_module modules
  make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-15-generic'
    CC [M]  /home/zedtux/Developments/kernel_module/test.o
  In file included from /home/zedtux/Developments/kernel_module/test.c:5:0:
  include/linux/netfilter_ipv4.h:13:47: fatal error: limits.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  make[2]: *** [/home/zedtux/Developments/kernel_module/test.o] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [_module_/home/zedtux/Developments/kernel_module] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-15-generic'
  make: *** [all] Error 2

  When I edit the file /usr/src/linux-
  headers-3.2.0-15-generic/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4.h at line 13 and
  I change "#include <limits.h>" to "#include <linux/limits.h>" then the
  make works.
