Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] KVM: s390: Silence potential warnings in _gmap_crstep_xchg_atomic()
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:48:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611104850.110313-2-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611104850.110313-1-imbrenda@linux.ibm.com>
While dat_crstep_xchg_atomic() is marked as __must_check, in this
particular case the return value should be ignored.
Silence potential compiler warnings with a pointless check, and add a
comment to explain the situation.
Fixes: d1adc098ce08 ("KVM: s390: Fix _gmap_crstep_xchg_atomic()")
