[merged mm-nonmm-stable] compiler_typesh-fix-unused-variable-in-__compiletime_assert.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: compiler_types.h: fix "unused variable" in __compiletime_assert()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     compiler_typesh-fix-unused-variable-in-__compiletime_assert.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: compiler_types.h: fix "unused variable" in __compiletime_assert()
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2025 19:40:35 +0000

This refines commit c03567a8e8d5 ("include/linux/compiler.h: don't perform
compiletime_assert with -O0") and restores #ifdef __OPTIMIZE__ symmetry by
evaluating the 'condition' variable in both compile-time variants of
__compiletimeassert().

As __OPTIMIZE__ is always true by default, this commit does not change
anything by default.  But it fixes warnings with _non-default_ CFLAGS like
for instance this:

 make  CFLAGS_tcp.o='-Og -U__OPTIMIZE__'

                 from net/ipv4/tcp.c:273:

 include/net/sch_generic.h: In function `qdisc_cb_private_validate':
 include/net/sch_generic.h:511:30:
            error: unused variable `qcb' [-Werror=unused-variable]

  {
     struct qdisc_skb_cb *qcb;

     BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(skb->cb) < sizeof(*qcb));
     ...
  }
