I'm looking at Linus's master commit a2cc6ff5ec8f ("Merge tag
'firewire-updates-6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394")
and guard is declared as macro which gets only one argument: include/linux/cleanup.h
318 #define guard(_name) \
319 CLASS(_name, __UNIQUE_ID(guard))

20:52:24 fs/namespace.c: In function 'clone_private_mount':
20:52:24 fs/namespace.c:2481:41: error: macro "guard" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1

Do I need to apply extra patch?

Thanks
