Subject: [PATCH] selftests/futex: Fix storing address of local variable
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:56:14 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118162619.50586-1-ankitkhushwaha.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=8, Size: 1475 bytes --]
In `child_circular_list()` address of local variable ‘struct lock_struct a’
is assigned to `head.list.next` raising the following warning.
robust_list.c: In function ‘child_circular_list’:
robust_list.c:522:24: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘a’
in ‘head.list.next’ [-Wdangling-pointer=]
522 | head.list.next = &a.list;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~
robust_list.c:513:28: note: ‘a’ declared here
513 | struct lock_struct a, b, c;
| ^
robust_list.c:512:40: note: ‘head’ declared here
512 | static struct robust_list_head head;
| ^~~~
Defining the value with static keyword to fix this.
