Just enable the thing already.

If you stopped trying to do it all yourself, others
will help resolve any new build warnings.

For instance: a build of -next x86/64 defconfig has 2.  nbd.

What are you talking about?

Anyone can enable it, I'm adding this to every commit:

Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3

And I'll send a PR with a proper patch for the Makefile
during the next merge window.

If had the power I would have enabled this option since day 1,
so every developer can take care of their own code.

Lately, you are not being of much help, Joe.

No one does that by default and almost no one
is helping eliminate these.  Not even on th

Almost no one uses make W=<levels> either as it's
generally extremely noisy and can emit a lot of
false positives.

That's great.

You have always had the power to send a patch.

You also seem to believe the build needs to be
completely clean before enabling the switch.

I don't.

<smile> What kind of help are you expecting?

I'm not submitting patches adding fallthough comments
as I think that's not a good form.  I've said so
repeatedly.

I believe I suggested months ago you default enable
the compiler switch.

So it's up to you to either do it or not.

Linus has been pretty clear about not wanting warning options enabled
without first fixing all the cases it warns about first. If that's
changed, then sure, let's do it; but we went through a lot of coordination
with sfr for linux-next nag-mail coverage (where maintainers are now
fixing it themselves) when this came up during the last kernel summit,
and this approach was the agreed solution.

Hey Kees.

I don't recall that particular tidbit.  Got a link?

It was spread out over the discussion around removing __deprecated,
about enabling -Wvla, and in person at the kernel summit when asking
what approach to take for -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
