Subject: [PATCH] bpf: avoid warning for unused register_bpf_struct_ops()
Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2025 10:42:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251204094312.1029643-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The macro originally introduced in commit f6be98d19985 ("bpf, net:
switch to dynamic registration") causes a warning in the new smc code
because of the way it evaluates the arguments:
In file included from include/linux/bpf_verifier.h:7,
from net/smc/smc_hs_bpf.c:13:
net/smc/smc_hs_bpf.c: In function 'bpf_smc_hs_ctrl_init':
include/linux/bpf.h:2076:50: error: statement with no effect [-Werror=unused-value]
2076 | #define register_bpf_struct_ops(st_ops, type) ({ (void *)(st_ops); 0; })
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/smc/smc_hs_bpf.c:139:16: note: in expansion of macro 'register_bpf_struct_ops'
139 | return register_bpf_struct_ops(&bpf_smc_hs_ctrl_ops, smc_hs_ctrl);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Work around this using an inline function that takes the argument,
the same way as the normal implementation. Since the second argument to
register_bpf_struct_ops() is a type rather than an object, this still
has to be a macro, but it can call a new inline helper internally like
the normal one does.
Fixes: 15f295f55656 ("net/smc: bpf: Introduce generic hook for handshake flow")
