Subject: [BUG report]sparse warnings on DEFINE_PER_CPU() symbols non-static
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 11:37:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5294175F.2080407@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

Hi Folks,


If kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU=y, then the sparse will report non-static
warnings like following:

> /git/linux/fs/inode.c:74:8: warning: symbol 'nr_inodes' was not declared. Should it be static?
> /git/linux/fs/inode.c:75:8: warning: symbol 'nr_unused' was not declared. Should it be static?
>
> $ vi +74 fs/inode.c
>   73 
>   74 static DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, nr_inodes);
>   75 static DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, nr_unused);
>   76 


Any thoughts?


Thanks,
Wanlong Gao
