These macros allow the suspend and resume functions to be automatically dropped by the compiler when CONFIG_SUSPEND is disabled, without having to use #ifdef guards. The advantage is then that these functions are now always compiled independently of any Kconfig option, and thanks to that bugs and regressions are easier to catch.

I actually never understood why people want to add to commit log, so to something which will last 10 years, Cc-ing other folks, instead of adding such tags after '---'. Imagine 10 years from now: 1. What's the point to be cced on this patch after 10 years instead of using maintainers file (the one in 10 years)? Why Cc-ing me in 10 years? If I am a maintainer of this driver in that time, I will be C-ced based on maintainers file. If I am not a maintainer in 10 years, why the heck cc-ing me based on some 10-year old commit? Just because I was a maintainer once, like 10 years ago? 2. Or why cc-ing such people when backporting to stable? It's quite a lot of unnecessary emails which many of us won't actually handle later... I sincerely admit I was once also adding such Cc-tags. But that time my employer was counting lines-of-patch (including commit log)... crazy, right? > --- > drivers/mfd/sec-core.c | 7 +++---- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/mfd/sec-core.c b/drivers/mfd/sec-core.c > index 1fb29c45f5cf..a467de2b2fea 100644 > --- a/drivers/mfd/sec-core.c > +++ b/drivers/mfd/sec-core.c > @@ -455,7 +455,6 @@ static void sec_pmic_shutdown(struct i2c_client *i2c) > regmap_update_bits(sec_pmic->regmap_pmic, reg, mask, 0); > } > > -#ifdef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP > static int sec_pmic_suspend(struct device *dev) Did you test W=1 with !CONFIG_PM_SLEEP?

Actually it doesn't :) Since the (dev_pm_ops) structure is always (and should always be) referenced through pm_sleep_ptr() or pm_ptr(), the symbols are never seen as unused by the compiler, but are automatically dropped by the compiler when the related config option is turned off.

I use them when I'm maintaining a large amount of out-of-tree, but to-be-upstreamed patches over several versions.

What is the > point to have them in commit log of 10 year old commit? Here is a documented use for the tags: "If a person has had the opportunity to comment on a patch, but has not provided such comments, you may optionally add a ``Cc:`` tag to the patch." Thus, when a recipient replies with a *-by tag, I strip out the corresponding Cc: line. Obviously this does not apply to mailing lists. -- DEPRECATED: Please use lee@kernel.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
