Subject: [PATCH] rust: bug: fix `dead_code` warning in `warn_on!`
Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2026 00:14:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807221429.155946-1-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
On arm and loongarch64, or under `CONFIG_BUG=n`, the upcoming SRCU
abstractions from commit
59cf3a5bda61 ("rust: sync: add SRCU abstraction")
use `warn_on!`, which in turn warns:
error: constant `WARN_ON_FLAGS` is never used
--> rust/kernel/bug.rs:126:19
|
126 | const WARN_ON_FLAGS: u32 = $crate::bug::bugflag_taint($crate::bindings::TAINT_WARN);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
::: rust/kernel/sync/srcu.rs:106:12
|
106 | if crate::warn_on!(
| ____________-
107 | | // SAFETY: By the type invariants, `self` contains a valid and pinned `struct srcu_struct`
108 | | // and `srcu_readers_active()` only checks the active reader count.
109 | | unsafe { bindings::srcu_readers_active(ptr) }
110 | | ) {
| |_________- in this macro invocation
|
= note: `-D dead-code` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(dead_code)]`
= note: this error originates in the macro `crate::warn_on` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
The reason is that `warn_flags!` discards both arguments in those cases,
and so the `const` becomes unused. And since it is a macro, it went
unnoticed so far.
Thus fix it by simplifying by removing the `const`.
