Subject: [RFC] btrfs-progs: fix sparse checking and warnings
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:16:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1376522205-16992-1-git-send-email-zab@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi gang,
I was a little surprised to see that patch go by recently
which fixed an endian bug. I went to see how sparse
checking looked and it was.. broken. I got it going
again in my Fedora environment.
Most of the patches are just cleanups, but there *were*
three real bugs lurking in all that sparse warning spam.
So I maintain that it's worth our time to keep it going
and fix warnings so that we have a chance of finding these
real bugs before users do.
I've only just built this and I haven't checked that it
doesn't break the build during bisection. I wanted to
let people see it before getting too lost fiddling with it.
Dave, I'm happy to rework this as needed to get it integrated.
FWIW, it's worth running a locally built sparse from its
current git tree to avoid unknown attribute warnings.
