Subject: [PATCH v2] USB: FHCI: cq_get() should check kfifo_out()'s return value
Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 18:33:18 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100514143318.GA14034@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)
Since commit 7acd72eb85f1c7a15e8b5eb554994949241737f1 ("kfifo: rename
kfifo_put... into kfifo_in... and kfifo_get... into kfifo_out..."),
kfifo_out() is marked __must_check, and that causes gcc to produce
lots of warnings like this:
CC drivers/usb/host/fhci-mem.o
In file included from drivers/usb/host/fhci-hcd.c:34:
drivers/usb/host/fhci.h: In function 'cq_get':
drivers/usb/host/fhci.h:520: warning: ignoring return value of 'kfifo_out', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
...
This patch fixes the issue by properly checking the return value.

OK, here it is. Thanks!
