Re: [PATCH] cpuset: sparse warnings in cpuset.c

[Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com>]

Don't redeclare p, use a new variable q.

kernel/cpuset.c:824:23: warning: symbol 'p' shadows an earlier one
kernel/cpuset.c:746:21: originally declared here
kernel/cpuset.c:1272:52: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

Paul, used a variable q instead as per your request.
